In this acrylic painting tutorial, I wanted to show how to paint a simple and cute ocean sunset scene. This tutorial focuses heavily on blending with acrylics, which can be a tricky thing. We take it step by step to be able to blend a clean pretty sunset sky that is reflected in the water below.
Times have been tough recently, and staying inside to paint is one of the best things that you can do to keep your brain healthy while social distancing or in “shelter in place” or in quarantine. So here is a little tutorial for you to do a some painting in these strange times. Learning how to paint is a great way to spend your time while you are inside. Try and relax and destress with this calm little tutorial.
In this painting I used only 4 colors, cyan blue, quinacridone red, medium yellow azo, and titanium white. If you don’t have these exact colors, feel free to use any red, blue, yellow, and white.

this video seriously has a bob ross vibe. so calming and relaxed
So I'm pretty late to this video but still wanted to comment a quick thanks 😀
I always struggle to pick the right colors and often end up with something that looks too bright and unrealistic, so this video was really helpful for me! It's going to take some more practice to get a result I'm fully satisfied with, but for a first attempt from a beginner like myself I'm pretty happy! Will certainly be taking a look at some more of your videos for more inspo 😀
جميل جدا ❤
I'd like to see your note book page by page
I gave up. It turned out to be a disaster
Thanks. I got an idea from you on how to mix and blend the colors for a sunset look. More videos please…
I hope you can mix and paint like this🎉🎉
The darker waves up close look totally real! Diggin' the Charlie Brown-esque music, too!

What I've learned about watching like this video, is you didn't need to compare your Arts to other expert Artists out there. Art is about expanding your arts in your own style, so it doesn't mean that you need to be perfect. ☺️ I'm also practicing a lot stuff of ARTS from drawing,sketching, manga animating, script writing now im into painting, it is not that im good tho. I'm just doing those thing for stress relief kind of hobbies it is for self satisfaction rather than competing nor comparing my art from other experts. It is only for my own happiness.😊 But,thanks for this video. I have high respect for artists.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😍😍😍
do you use acrylics on your sketchbook too?
Just one word watching your piece of work, WOWWWWWWWWWW 👍😍🥰
Ok! I will do this…..
I will update after its done.
Update:
I messed up, but this was the first time I'm trying ocean painting.
Mixing colour was the toughest thing and I also messed up that waves. I will try until the results are enough satisfying.
I can't wait to paint this ❤
You are so talented I loved how this came out! I was wondering if you had any other advice you could share for beginner painters such as myself 🙂
I like your vibe. Super chill and relaxing and not at all loud or self promoting.
I love how real your painting looks. Why does mine look cartoonish 😅
Thank you ❤ I’m painting again after like 14 years of rest. And your video motivate me so much. Good luck to everyone 😍
Tohfa
Thank u much
U r the best ❤
I really love the way you talk, it's so pleasing and lovely
Thank you you’re amazing artist. Take care and goodbye.😊
That looks amazing, just got my first canvas and I'm gonna start painting, thanks ❤
'Didn't catch what blue paint colour you put on your palette; was it Cobalt Blue?
I had a hard time with the waves 😢
