This Acrylic Landscape Painting Demonstration by John Magne Lisondra, titled “Acrylic Landscape Painting Lesson – Morning in Lake by JmLisondra,” presents a comprehensive guide for beginners on acrylic painting techniques. The tutorial starts with sketching using blue acrylic paint, emphasizing the flexibility in color choice, including options like brown, red, or green. Lisondra progresses to painting the sky, mixing blue and white to create a light blend and incorporating white for clouds while the paint is still wet for better blending.
The lesson covers painting mountains with a focus on perspective—lighter and bluish for distant mountains and darker for nearer ones. The tutorial details how to add depth and realism to the landscape through careful color mixing and brush techniques, emphasizing the importance of base colors and the gradual addition of details.
Lisondra explains how to create realistic trees and vegetation, using darker tones for closer objects to enhance depth perception. He demonstrates how to apply highlights to trees and the ground, using a tapping technique with a flat brush to simulate leaves and grass textures. The tutorial also includes techniques for painting water reflections in the lake, ensuring they mirror the mountains and trees above to enhance the painting’s realism. Lisondra guides viewers on adding finer details like water ripples, road highlights, and tree textures, employing various brushes for different effects.
The acrylic landscape painting lesson concludes with creating a detailed tree, including branches and leaves, highlighted to suggest sunlight. Lisondra’s approach to painting emphasizes the balance between detailed brushwork and the strategic use of color to create depth, texture, and realism in a landscape painting. He encourages personal experimentation within the outlined techniques, allowing individual creativity in the painting process.
