This is an acrylic painting demo for the beginning or intermediate painter. I’ve chosen high quality but simple materials to make starting out more economical.
It’s great for the beginner because I’m using a very limited palette of paints from the Golden acrylics “introductory set” which includes the colors below.
Titanium White
Hansa Yellow Light
Napthol Red Light
Permanent Green Light
Ultramarine Blue
Mars Black
This limited palette makes color mixing easier to understand and practice.
I’ve used 4 brushes: a 1/2″ flat synthetic, a #2 round bristle, a #2 filbert and a liner brush. Again, to keep it simple and keep costs down.
I painted this using one of my Plein Air (on location) pieces as reference. Using the finished painting as a reference instead of a photo is great for the beginning painter and helps to focus on developing your craft and skills in brushwork and color mixing.

Very nice demonstration! Loved the painting. I am a beginner oil-painter. Do you have any oil painting videos?
Thank you,
I have taught very well, I have understood everything very clearly thnnnnnnnnx
Thank you for a great tutorial. It offered a wealth of easy tips and techniques. Looking forward to seeing your other tutorials.
What a wonderful video! Thank you for your clarity and you have a really restful voice which is a pleasure to listen to. Thank you very much indeed.
Hi Karen, what do you use to soften the paint?
Inspiring! You'll also be a very good radio announcer.
How do you retard the drying process of acrylic paint? Just with water or do you use a chemical retarder or both?
Wow einfach klasse.👌🏻🖌🏞👍
I loved this project. Here is my job can you tell me where I went wrong
You keep dulling down your colors and have achieved a dull painting. I like color. Beautiful colors. Not all full army green colors.
I love these paintings and you have a lot of useful knowledge however, as a beginner, it’s essential for you to explain what you’re doing as you do along. I’d love a slower video with more detail.
Graciaaaasssss ,,,,,,, Hermoso !!!!! Exelente!!!! 👏😊
I love watching you paint this fantastic painting..
You’re a great teacher. I wish you would post more tutorials.
Amazing lesson, lots of info. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
Karen do you use a natural hog or synthetic bristle round brush for your rolling technique? What brand do you use also? I use a flat natural bristle to do most of my blending but after watching you I want to try the round brush. Love the effects you achieve.
your video is great :))please visit to my channel :))i make some painting video too :))thanks :))
You never used any Brown I see a lot of it in landscapes
Is it on paper or canvas?
Wundervoll,eine Bereicherung für meine Malerei.Stehe erst am Anfang und kann die Anregung sehr gut gebrauchen.Danke!
This is a great channel, just come across !! I'm so glad I did. Thank you ❤️👍🇬🇧🎨
I have found a way to extend the life of your acrylic paint and this is something I dicovered purely by accident. I find that if you mix a little amounts of hand sanitizer with aloe moisturizing in it will really help you blend and extend the life of your acrylic paint. Love your painting and teaching methods .. 😀
Thank you for the work, very good, Beautiful! Like
wow you are right up my alley! you keep the teachings very simple, not overly-detailed. a lot of it is also because my friend taught me how to do landscapes in oil. i want to try acrylic though because oils are so messy, time consuming and expensive.
tout y est pour moi à l excellence. travail des couleurs sur la palette, nuances et touches au pinceau, montée du tableau, delicatesse des tons, visibilité de la demo. .. rarement sur internet une si belle démonstration. merci beaucoup.
I love how you teach. You are the only one I've found on YouTube to really teach! Please produce more videos! You are amazing artist and teacher.
I think one of the biggest myths in art is that anyone can do it. Another is that rules are made to be broken — few do and those that do are always criticized, besides there are no rules in art. My motto; Make Bad Art.
beautiful painting Karen!
I painted this a second time with some things better and some things worse. I'll keep trying and learning.
Thank you again.
Such a beautiful painting. This was really a stretch for me but I learned so much. Thank you.
Stunning – thank you , You are a fantastic teacher.
Thank you so much for your painting demo, Karen !! I've learned a lot through your kind explanations and they will be very helpful when I start to paint !!! Your voice is a great gift from God !!
Thanks Karen. I enjoyed your paintings, just one thing is I don't think black is good used this way.
Your work is so beautiful and I love the way you explain everything. Thank you.
Your very talented! Beautiful….
Thank you for sharing, I learnt a lot from this. Your voice is so relaxing almost sent me to sleep ahah
Beautiful~~!!!
That was wrong of mere goddess to say you're boring. I don't agree. I just subscribed and can see what a good teacher you are. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this lesson. I know this will encourage me to start. And what i appreciate; is your "non stressed" voice on top of all.
So talented, and I learned quite a lot, however; you are soooo boring. You talk and talk but you just want us to watch and copy… jmho
Dear Karen, I thoroughly enjoyed painting with you! It was amazing!! I replaced the tree with a cherry blossom tree and looks pretty!! Thanks again!!
you really inspire me to go out and paint I know I can do it watching you gave me inspiration
Every word you said was so true, you are a lovely artist and a great teacher, well done TFS Mairead in Ireland
Thank You
Not good instruction about what your doing just color instruction not good for beginners.
Loved this video by Karen. I have never watched her before so this was such a delight to find online! Karen explained how to mix paints using a minimum number of colors o her palette and it was simply amazing to see how many various colors she obtained from just a few tubes of paint! Lavender Fields is stunning and I cannot wait until tomorrow so that I may paint this gorgeous scene along with Karen! I consider myself an intermediate painter, yet I found her tips and explanations very useful! Thank you for such well done instructional video of a subject that demands to be painted!
lovely painting madame
Very inspirational, thank you Karen.
Such skill. Superb
Thank you.
