This video is amazing. I'm a 26 year old that lost my ability to paint due to arthritis at 22, and picking it back up has been so hard. I'd gotten rusty at the things that made art so fun like this. Thank you. :)
Bravo! Very inspiring. I can see why my work gets so messy. Your demonstration is a brilliant example of practicing restraint and the thoughtful, careful placement of colour.
Great looking, happy painting thank you Malcolm. I’m really inspired to take a “risk” in my current rather washed out looking painting😂😂. You make it look so easy, but I know this comes from years of practice! One day ……….. thanks for the encouragement!
He has a great video about taking risk and another about correcting mistakes and really all his videos are great you should watch those two and his loose painting videos right after. Make that "one day" today! And everyday!
Excellent video Malcolm! Great instruction showing your process from beginning to end. It was very helpful that you showed the change in the sky at the beginning. How you felt it wasn’t conveying correctly the way you wanted and easily changed it demonstrating how it is just part of the painting process, not a mistake. Your videos are always well done and packed full of great content. 🎨🖌️
Thank you Malcolm for this demo. You have made a simple reference look so beautiful and vibrant. I have never felt comfortable with acrylics, but would love to try this.
I really loved this! I don’t have any acrylics, but I do have oils right now. I will follow your tutorial with the oils! beautiful job painting and excellent job, Teaching! Thank you.
All your courses are informative, fun and you have a very reassuring voice. I’ve learnt so much about colour and value and I can’t wait to have a go at this!
Thank you for inspiration and your calm way to teach. After watching several of your videos I just had to try painting impasto and it came out surprisingly good and now I love this technique more than any ! 🙏
Great work Malcolm! Love how you gave your own interpretation of the scene. Was also surprised how wet your paints stayed on your pallete. I sometimes use a staywet container and also mist the paints if outside. Didn't notice any of that on your video. You also painted pretty quickly so that could be it.
Thank you very much! Yes, a smaller work like this can be done in 40-60 minutes, so the paints last fine. A sprayer to mist over the paints can extend that time.
It is a delight as usual, replaced my desert :). I have a similar reference photo that I think could be use it in this way, but with oil or gouache or oil pastel .... hope I overcome my procrastination. Thank you.
I’m so happy to have found your channel. I love your teaching style. I’m actually grasping it and I love that you start with a red canvas. Greetings from California 🙏🏻🌺
Enjoy your tutorials so much! I recently had the pleasure of seeing a Georgia O'Keeffe exhibit in Montreal. I have irises blooming in my garden so am motivated to try painting them. Question - how on earth does she get those lights to pop like that? Her whites look like they are backlit.
@@MalcolmDewey Thanks Malcolm. I think the speed at which you paint make your paintings feel fresh and lively. I have found acrylics much easier to handle spontaneously compared to oils as they allow layering and corrections to be made much more quickly.
I usually use a red/orange color as under painting, because I’ve been practicing summer landscape scenes. If I wanted to cool things down, would it be useful to use much cooler red/violet as under painting??
Thank you so much, Master! I really needed this tutorial now! I am stuck with my idyllic Lake District landscape with the 7 sheep... cannot get to like it whatever I change. I think this video gave me some ideas.🥰❤️❤️
Never thought to use the reference as a basis only giving opportunity to put your self into the painting . Don't need to slavishly follow the reference Thanks David
I would never have imagined using that photo for a reference. It’s bland and boring. However, what you have done with it blows my mind. I will definitely have to be braver with color and shapes in the future. Very inspiring.

Wow, thank you. Best wishes for your painting and recovery.
The simplified shapes and hues and brushstrokes are amazing! The loose effect is very nice.
Thank you very much
Beatiful painting. Enjoy your show very much
Keep going M A Barilli
Malcolm, your painting is amazing every time! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much 😀
Thank you…I will watch this many times, I’m sure. I love your brush strokes, they’re so informed!
You are so welcome!
So good to see you painting with acrylics and creating such fabulous colors. Thanku again Malcolm ❤
Thank you so much 😀
Bravo! Very inspiring. I can see why my work gets so messy. Your demonstration is a brilliant example of practicing restraint and the thoughtful, careful placement of colour.
Thank you very much! Yes muddy color happens quickly with acrylics.

Go for it Sheena!

Glad you enjoyed it - Yes, painting requires a lot of corrections to get the end result. This is why humans will always differ from AI art.
I love how you can see something totally more than is in the reference!
Thank you!
I'd just like to thank you because watching you has improved my brushwork tremendously. I am about to buy your impressionist painting course
Glad to help

Beautifully vibrant and diverse colours that create an exciting visual experience. Lovely.
Many thanks!
I learn a lot from your demonstration in this video. Thank you so much.
You're very welcome!
You can always take an ordinary landscape photo, and make a masterpiece out of it. Thank you for the in depth art lesson.
My pleasure!
These colors are nice and vibrant, looks very interesting
I love to watch you paint, and thank you for your wonderful videos! Beautiful painting!
Thank you so much 😀
Beautiful, Malcolm, and so clearly shown. Thank you.
It's a pleasure, thank you
It's beautiful and great for the seeing bringing joy and relaxation.🎉
Yes, thank you
Love how you make a dull reference so vibrant. I need to try thid & stop playing it safe. Thankyou.
Enjoy it!
Amazing! So cool to see your thought process on how to make your reference picture fit your needs.
Thanks so much!

Thank you - keep the wites warm and put some color alongside that helps them to pop forward.
luv luv your new colours thank you so much as always for sharing so kindly
Thank you! Cheers!
Very good demonstration Malcolm. Was it filmed in real time or speeded up a little in the edit?
Thanks - I did edit the gaps and so on - Took about 40 minutes

A cool red may be the thing to try too
Like alizarin or magenta.

👍👍👍👍👍🎨🖌️ 33:42 ♥️ from Frances uk 😊
Do you ever paint Oils over the Acrylics?
Yes, that is how I started oil painting initially. It's always an option.
It's very tasty.
Thank you so much 😊
