Introduction1:43
Learn to paint a mountain landscape in an oval composition on a rectangular canvas with acrylics, covering sky, clouds, snow peaks, trees, and an emerging big tree in eight steps.
Art Supplies4:37
Explore essential acrylic painting supplies for creating an oval landscape, including canvas paper or oil paper, sticker paper for the oval, and key tools like a knife and two brushes.
Color Theory33:33
Master color theory for landscape painting by mixing primaries to create teal blue and light olive greens, and swatch to compare warm versus cool colors for depth.
Brush Techniques - Trees9:09
Master acrylic tree painting using flat and rough brushes to build textures with 90-degree strokes, blending dark to mid to light tones, and leaving background for depth.
Brush Techniques - Clouds7:21
Learn to paint loose clouds in an oval landscape using acrylics, blending teal blue and white with layered light, mid-tone, and dark values and various brushes.

Step 1 - Sky and Clouds1:00
Mix teal, blue, and white acrylics to build a sky, blend with a flat brush, add a touch of Prussian blue, and lay in the lake's water lines.
Step 2 - Mountain4:35
Create a 3D mountain landscape with violet, black, and white, using a feather-light knife technique to build textured peaks and gentle color correction for snow highlights.
Step 3 - Distant Trees6:45
Learn to paint distant trees using vertical strokes with a flat brush, layering light greens into darker foreground for an oval acrylic landscape with water reflections.
Step 4 - Pine Trees8:00
Let the background dry, then build land with black and greens and yellows. Create pine trees with a flat brush, layering dark color with a lighter side on one edge.
Step 5 - Trees on oval edge5:03
Create the oval edge with textured bushes along the sticker paper edge by dabbing greens and black with a flat brush, varying colors (green, brown, dark green) and brushes.
Step 6 - Tree reflections in lake3:18
Wash off the dark paint, pick light shades, and use a dry brush with very little paint to create vertical reflections from the land onto the lake.
Step 7 - Unmask & extend the painting on the oval edge2:04
Remove the masking to reveal a crisp oval edge, then gently extend the painting beyond the border to make the landscape appear to protrude from the oval.
Step 8 - Big tree coming out of the frame6:36
Create an oval landscape acrylic painting with a giant tree trunk and branches emerging from the frame, and paint leaves in brown, black, and yellow with highlights in white.
Final Touch Ups5:55
Refine leaf textures with a small brush after using a flat brush, then add white water lines with a liner brush to heighten depth in the oval acrylic landscape.

Description

We all love the beauty of nature and love painting landscapes.

But what if we learned to paint in a new and exciting way instead of painting the same way always?

In this class, we will learn to paint a mountain landscape in an oval shape! No, we won't paint on an oval canvas but paint an oval landscape on our regular rectangular canvas.

You will learn various art supplies, acrylic techniques, and color theory.. and I'll be sharing with you lots of tips and tricks along the way. If you have followed my others classes, you know how much I focus on techniques, which you can use to create any other painting. And in this class also, I'll tell you about every detail of working with acrylics and creating this amazing masterpiece.

Colors I used in this class:

Titanium White
Black
Teal Blue
Prussian Blue (Phthalo blue)
Prism violet
Cadmium Yellow
Sap green
Dark green (Viridian hue)
Brown (burnt sienna)

I’ve divided this painting into 8 steps - starting with the sky and clouds, we will learn to paint snow-covered mountain peaks, then some gorgeous green trees along with some pine trees, and finally we will learn to paint a big tree coming out of the oval frame!

So I hope you are excited to dive into the class & create this painting all on your own and learn some new skills to create your own artwork.

If u want to learn these things, go ahead and enroll in my course and I'd love to see u inside the class.
