How to paint an easy surreal landscape in acrylics – speed painting w/ Lachri



Today I’m walking you through how to paint a very simple surreal landscape. This would be a great painting for beginners, or someone more advanced who wants a quick project to paint.

I’ve used liquitex basics with a bit of liquitex heavy bodied transparent mixing white on the balloons. I also used some white createx airbrush paint on the background, but you can use the transparent mixing white for that if you don’t have an airbrush. I painted this on a Fredrix Nature Core Linen paint board.

  1. Thanks so much for this Lisa! I think I'm definitely gonna pull the trigger on acrylics and oils this fall/winter and I'm inspired a lot by this simple process. Correct me if I'm wrong, but i seems like the brush technique for acrylics and oils isn't radically different, it's just the drying time and the layering differently, so I can definitely practice both simultaneously (on different pieces of course).

    Best,
    Joe

  2. I absolutely love and appreciate how you describe what you are demonstrating. I'm looking forward to trying these techniques and colors for an effect i'm wanting to get on a project… Thank you for all that you share.

  3. Hi, I'm Italian, Florence, I'm learning achrylic painting. Your work is very fine, I guess I'm not able to do it. Where are you from?

  4. I came across your channel by chance and firstly watched your video about how you started out and your health. I too suffer from arthritis in my spine and hips as well as stomach issues and fibromyalgia so I can relate. I was a marketing manage up til five years ago but last year I got into crafting, initially card making and pocket letters. I've branched out since then into mixed media and art journaling. I have a background in art, I started out as a graphic designer before getting into marketing, but stopped doing anything art related many years ago, I really admire how you're self taught and your attention to details and composition are brilliant. I've never experimented with surrealism but watching this has made me want to give it a go. Your new subbie πŸ™‚ x

  5. Have you tried the Liquitex Slow-Dri Blending Medium?
    I haven't tried it yet myself, just wondering if the product is worth a try?

  6. When I get done with these holiday paintings I'm gonna do my favorite one that is a surreal tiny canvas in a large canvas. Nice when someone gives you the green light to paint whatever for them lol. I'm in the straight string camp HAH. Very nice anyway!

  7. So whimsical — I love your painting. For viewers who don't have a lot of mop brushes, soak a piece of paper towel with hand sanitizer and use it to wipe the mop when changing colors. It may not work with heavy body because it is so much thicker, but it works really well if you don't get the mop brush real wet. Hand sanitizer also works to clean paint out of the ferule so your brushes don't split. It's the alcohol that dissolves the paint.

  8. I love the way you soften your clouds… that is that make up brush that you spoke of in another video …right? Btw, I have been watching you for sometime, you are incredibly talented!

  9. Which colors did you use exactly for this painting (which green, yellow, red and brown color did you use). Can you tell me the names of the acrylics?
