At last a beginners tutorial that’s actually for beginners. I am just starting, first time painter at 54. I learned so much from this thank you! Plus I just love that it’s okay to use a drawing as a base, for those of without a natural talent but lots of enthusiasm .
I have many many turtorials that are for beginner beginners as well as intermediate artists. The reason we started the beginner painting course was to get our members to where they can paint some of the intermediate paintings. We hope the course helps you get there. In the meantime, you can go to our website and check out all our 1 hoot paintings here theartsherpa.com/ Just click on videos, then the 1 hoot link 💛
Thank you Thank you Thank you for all your great info you give in this video. I am so anxious to start painting on canvas ! ! Such great tips you give !! 🤗🤗
I just ran into your comment. After a year are you still pursuing art and painting and are you successful like you may have expected? I'm 66 and dabbled in art throughout my life but not painting. I'm wanting to give it a shot. What are my odds? Since you started late as well? Lol
Got, you beat !! I am, 70 and just beginning! Haha 😂 So, happy to find this tutorial!!! I, have probably like you and many others wasted to much time on listening to jokers videos and learned nothing except I wasted that uch time of my life I can never get back !!!!!!
Love your Cinnamon! My heartfelt condolences to John and your family. I am so sad at the news of your passing 💔 I have been following you for a long time and will miss you and John terribly, rest in peace wonderful lady…
“And that’s a great strategy if you’re trying to, like, have a nice relaxing time through an entire painting “ 🤣🤣🤣 Everything about this moment is gold and so relatable
I see this tutorial has been here for five years, but I just want to say, thanks for posting it! I'm almost a beginner, and I didn't know all your tips - I found them really useful!
Thankyou. I am 77 and a complete beginner. Your video is so helpful even to looking after brushes. It was wonderful to hear you say you admired beginners, l needed that as l am still plucking up courage to tart.
@user-gz3kz8cp5u, Thank you for sharing your journey with us. At 77, and as a complete beginner, you've shown immense courage in taking up painting, and I'm truly honored to be part of your artistic exploration. Your brushes are essential tools, and looking after them well can make your painting experience even more rewarding. Don't be afraid to take those first steps; remember, every artist starts somewhere. I admire your spirit, and I believe in your potential. Your creativity is a gift waiting to be unwrapped, and your age simply adds wisdom to your unique perspective. Keep nurturing that courage, and don't hesitate to reach out if you need support. Wishing you a joyful painting journey, Cinnamon
less than 5 minutes in and i'm already subscribed. there's something charming about this lady. she's dishing out knowledge but in a way that isn't pushy or preachy, i love it.
I miss painting and you and your mom has made my art experience so enlightening. Thanks for the joy you’ve given. My husband Geoff has cancer and I’m his care giver and also my sister is in a facility. My painting has been on hold. Today has been fun watching you. I miss John’s love he shows you when narrating the show. Don’t ever think that what you give is of no value for people of low-fixed incomes, it’s priceless!
Mary I just want to send a big hug as you care for your husband. That is such a wonderful thing to care for your husband. I hope you both have support and healers that are there for you. We will be here for you when you need us. Mom and I are not going anywhere. Also even though John was quiet he was here the whole video cracking me up during filming.
❤thank,you for posting this comment! It, says it all for so many of us on a fixed income and going thru our own hardships. But, as for your troubles my heart,prayers and the utmost admiration goes to you ! Prayers, work miracles. I, know first hand that miracles real do happen every day. Praise, the Almighty Creator 😊
I watch a LOT of videos about lots of things and when I wanted to get past my fear of starting to paint again, I looked for a good mentor. I found her in the Art Sherpa!
After searching through several videos, I finally found this one, and it is exactly what I have been looking for. I am an absolute beginner with acrylics and had no idea where to start. There were enough tips in this one video that were covered well that I can start my painting today with confidence. Thank you!
Amazing tutorial.! I love it and I am saving it so I can watch it over and over until, I finally get all the teachings to heart. Thank you and looking forward to more. I am a pre
I want to thank you for explaining everything in minute detail for actual beginners. No one else actually explains anything. I’m autistic with some learning disability and I need this level of information. So thank you so much for doing this. 🙏🏼✨
Hello I've always wanted to paint and at 45 I did. My youngest son turned 18 so I felt free to embark on this journey. And I'm having the time of my life! I've learned so much already I fell in love w/ paint pouring it's very exciting. Even the most skilled veteran artist can't foresee there results 100%. The unknown is scary, & exciting, challenging, & super rewarding⚜️. I'm so glad I jumped in w/both feet. Sorry I was rambling I want you to know your my 1st art🖌️🎨⚜️ class of any kind💯🎉🤘and I learned alot thank you and going to keep watching you. Hopefully I grow as a artist and I know I'm giving it my all thank you for making this series I can't afford art classes otherwise. See you soon lol
Yesss , that's what i want to hear and see when i search " basics of painting". Why there are so many videos regarding easy painting tutorials but not many videos like these. Thank you so much ❣️. I'm subscribing right away 🌟
I’m retired. Other than a few arts and crafts with my kids at church for the children’s ‘sermon’ I’ve done. And at, sometime it turn out really good, better than I could imagine. Lots of teachers online but some move to quickly. Some speak the language of the artist but fail to adequately define the words. You are one of the best. Thank you for sharing your talent in a down to earth 🌎 manner. You also show us things we can be successful in doing on the first try! May not be the best leaf or rose, and your husband may think it’s an abstract. Lol 😆!!! Thanks . Look forward to all your lessons and getting stuff done. I had to retire in 2014 for medical disability and I thought painting was something I could or would excel in. Did what you shouldn’t do of course. Went out to Micheals Crafts and stared buying out the acrylics and water color aisle. Stayed away from oils as I heard it was difficult to master, like the others would be a breeze. I’ve always wanted to paint and thought I’d be good. Finding you here may help my wishes come true..
when i'm stuck and i can't concentrate on painting or i straight up cannot create anything i always go back to watch tutorials and stuff like that because i feel like i'm being productive in some way, and this? THIS. This was SO calming and nice and i feel so good and ready to paint thank you
Thank you! Its been years since I did painting. I started with no knowledge at all but just grab a brush and paint away. Knowing these basics really helped me a lot! Ypu rock!
Wonderful! and glad it was helpful. If this was helpful you might enjoy the beginner course on the website theartsherpa.com/BeginnerAcrylicPaintingCourse 💕
I have been using one of the cheapest silicone cutting mats from the dollar store for a paint pallet. I simply trim it to the size of the underlying sponge sheet. Snap the top. Paint stays ready to go. Inadvertently dries? Just peel it off.
Thank you for a great tutorial. Started painting about 18 months ago. Had no idea what I was doing. No one to ask. Learning all the time. Please do more of videos like this.
Thank you for posting this video. I’m just learning how to paint and am starting off with acrylics. I did not want to get bogged down into formal lessons because my ideas for canvas or board are very personal. Your videos are going to help a lot. Thanks!
Thank you for this. I've been watercolor painting for a few years, but have never used acrylics and this was just what I needed! Even down to getting the paint out of the tube!
Thanks for a great tutorial for real beginners! I've been doing watercolors for a couple years and decided to try acrylics. You covered everything I didn't know I didn't know about acrylics, from squeezing the paint out of the tube and getting it on the brush to putting it on the paper, and cleaning up afterwards--all the media-specific topics you absolutely need to know but everyone else assumes you already do. And you even covered painting leaves! This is the very first acrylic tutorial I watched and I'm so glad I found it. Thanks again.
Thank you! I love doing sports and arts. I’m only 11, and I just started in painting! I actually finished one of my paintings today! I found this video very inspiring and helpful. Thank you! 🥺✨😁
This is the best beginners tutorial I have found. Really good explanation of how to control the amount of paint you use. Made me realise that I have been using way too much. Thank you for a very informative tutorial
I'm 61, I started with pouring paint. I make some very nice paintings, but i wanted to embellish them. For some reason, I'm terrified to start my first actual painting. I've watched videos, so many videos, but still get stuck. How do i properly handle each brush? How do i hold my brush? How is it used? How much pressure? You answered my questions. Well, you have a new subscriber. I'm so glad i found you. ❤🎉❤🎉
After watching several videos of other artists (who are good)...YOU are THE BEST!!!! I'm a newbie, self teaching during the Covid lockdown and YOU ROCK!!!
Love that you make it clear that tracing for a light outline is NOT cheating. I mean, even the greats sometimes used a camera obscura to project an image on their canvas to get an outline centered properly. The main one I know of was Da Vinci. 😉👍
Hi Beautiful Blue! I love your back to Blue I love it on you! Just got back on line , house got hit by lightning when we were in church, Finally got internet, and most things replaced, wasn’t too bad as it didn’t take out most major appliances. I love your teaching constant. I find myself hearing you do this or not that when I’m painting. Your the Best teacher and I’ve learned so much in the short three yrs since I found you. I was so lost without my Artsherpa and Ginger Cook❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️Now it’s all rainbows from here❤️❤️🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌹🌹🌹
I’ve been going through a very depressing time and just wanted to get it out that you are such a supportive and uplifting person.. love everything you’ve got going on and thank you for telling us strangers on the internet you’re proud of us ♥️ those few words make such a huge ripple effect across the interwebs! 🙏
All my life I've been watching the wrong tutorials, omg! You are heaven sent. Thank you! I did a Starry Night painting you taught, and now my family thinks I'm a professional artist lol! My hat n bow off to you my dear.
I am so used to doing oil paints and I want to try acrylics, I just subscribed to your channel. I messed up the first try with gesso and just started to paint with out using any water omg
You’ll probably never see but I got sober about six months ago and picked up paint and pencils. I’m no artist but if u actually see this I will show u. I adore adore adore you
Thank you for that lesson. I have been painting the last two years and I see that I’ve been doing a lot of wrong. To unlearn is a challenge but I will save a lot of paint, brushes and time. I look forward to become a dedicated Art Sherpa student. Thank you.
This is the BEST tutorial I've watched. Just started painting folkart scenes and didn't have the first clue. Bought everything from Gesso, acrylic 16×20 paper, different size canvas set, 30 different acrylic paint colors, 2 sets of brushes, an easel, a paint and pallete set. Lol...now I just have to learn what I'm doing. Fingers crossed.
This is the first time seeing this video. I've wanted to start painting for the longest time and this video really gave me the boost of motivation needed to get started. You're great teacher. Many thanks🇿🇦🤗❤️
Your enthusiasm is so so important in a teacher! Art can be intimidating for those not good at it (me) but you keep the fun element alive and that's so inspiring! Thank you! ❤️
I'm interested to learn ...beginning from scratch ...I'm thankful i found this tutorial . Start from the beginning very helpful for those who really want to learn the craft , from the things to remember ,the materials to use and how to use them, and even the technic on how to blend colors , the brush stokes and everything , i hope I'll be able to learn ..🙏
This is a fabulous tutorial and full of the types of tips I was looking for! So many times I get hung up on seemingly tiny things like, "Is this too much paint to put on my paintbrush?" and "Is this the right way to blend these things together?" - Thank you for making this so easy to follow!
Thank you so much for your video. I didn't start trying to paint till late in my sixties and was on the verge of giving up as I felt my work was far too 'flat'. However I have learnt so much from watching this and you have inspired me to keep trying. Your words are so encouraging and I now know that I CAN do it. Thank you again 💕
I can absolutely and totally see why you have the following you do! Your energy and passion for art and painting is completely contagious!!! I'm a watercolor and mixed media artist of over 3 years who has decided to add acrylics to my abilities and I so appreciated your video. You rock girl!
Bahut bahut shukriya … been painting since i was a kid then stopped bec of work shouldnt have … never used acrylic yet though so learnt a lot today … will be getting brushes soon and paints … started with watercolor then charcoal then oils … heard so much how people love acrylic … thanks for this
Oh my god first time ever someone showed HOW to trace a picture....and I don't feel like an idiot doing it. Love it. LOVE YOU!!!!!!! strugling a whole day trying to paint something but just messing my paints, brushes, clothes, table...everything in paint Iwas so frustrated and stressed out...I think my dog was aswell. I am finally relaxing when watching and listening you just how to use a brush. So Awesome!
Fantastic video for any beginner, like myself. I have always wanted to try painting, but was one who let, "intimidation," get the best of me. However, I am determined to try. So, here goes. It just so happens I was gifted paints for Christmas. So excited and a little nervous. I appreciate your words of wisdom. You are amazing at instructoring!
this things make sense after all...all the topic and technique, from the beginning till the end is very useful i love the video and its not boring to watch.
Exactly excellent 👏motivated to learn more about methods of aspiring 🎨 acrylic painting techniques as a beginner is very essential and exciting indeed.
I love watching you do demonstrations you or so good an you take your time so you can LEARN AN YOU ARTWORK IS BEAUTIFUL. IAM LINDA FROM SHERMAN TEXAS ❤
I have been fortunate enough to "stumble" across a couple of your videos now. Love them! so clear and concise filled with info I need to know as an absolute beginner at 74! Will be hunting out as many as I can find. My first couple of efforts have been hilarious and I've learnt a lot from making all those "mistakes". Definitely no Rembrandt, but loving the process.
Whoa!! Best tutorial EVER!! YO oh are SO stunning!! I could watch you all day!! Stunning butterfly necklace!! That is gorgeous!! Love your shirt too!! 😊😊😊😊 Your instructions are absolutely exemplary!!
Watching this again and .... I still love it all ober again! Just wanted to tell you. Going to show to the boys. Funny how easy it can be to forget which videos I have watched that have helped me so much!
Thank you for making this video! Like the person before me, I found this is exactly what I was looking for! During covid 19 quarantine I have been trying my first attempts at acrylic painting and have created a few works I am kind of proud of as a beginner but have a LONG way go and a lot to learn. The skills and knowledge you share here is super helpful!!! Glad you include things that maybe other painters know but beginners may not. Thank you again!
I am so freaking happy I found this video\channel within Alllll the other TH-cam videos. This one is so comprehensive and informative…. ThankYou, Art Sherpa!! ☺
Thank you so much! I’m not an artist but would like to dabble now that I’m retired! You have covered EVERYTHING I will need to know! I’m grateful to you!
I was bought a load of acrylic paint brushes and sponges for christmas and as someone who has only used pastels til now I was very daunted. Your videos have made me feel more at ease although I will be starting small. Thank you.
I just started a week ago. But I just dove rite in without knowing the preparation process. No one ever talked about canvass prep. Or wat a medium was or how to use it. Wetting the brush to make it flow better. So I just started. Couldn't figure out why my paint wasn't making thin lines. And Cleaning the brushes... I had no FREAKING clue. I " cleaned " them out I thought. But wen I went to paint my next one they wer hard and stiff . But they looked clean. I was wrong. You helped out alot. Oh and now I no more about brush control and position. You are a good teacher. I will be watching and learning more of your techniques. Thank you.
Thank you for this wonderful video,I’m 50 years old and drawing is my passion but i never had time for that and I always wanted to paint,i have fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis so I spend most of my time at home with lots of pain,i was thinking that I’m too old and too ill to learn painting acrylic ,i was lost watching lots of different tutorials and accidentally I find this one..I love it ,I absolutely love it .. thank you
At last a beginners tutorial that’s actually for beginners. I am just starting, first time painter at 54. I learned so much from this thank you! Plus I just love that it’s okay to use a drawing as a base, for those of without a natural talent but lots of enthusiasm .

What are my odds? Since you started late as well? Lol
Got, you beat !! I am, 70 and just beginning! Haha 😂 So, happy to find this tutorial!!! I, have probably like you and many others wasted to much time on listening to jokers videos and learned nothing except I wasted that uch time of my life I can never get back !!!!!!

You are so welcome! thank you for your really kind comments
She is really good! As a beginner I love how she shows basic information. This is great for a true beginner.
I am so used to doing oil paints and I want to try acrylics, I just subscribed to your channel. I messed up the first try with gesso and just started to paint with out using any water omg
You’ll probably never see but I got sober about six months ago and picked up paint and pencils. I’m no artist but if u actually see this I will show u. I adore adore adore you
Congratuations. That is so awesome. And Art is a good way to help keep your sobriety. Keep up the great work 💓
Thank you for that lesson. I have been painting the last two years and I see that I’ve been doing a lot of wrong. To unlearn is a challenge but I will save a lot of paint, brushes and time. I look forward to become a dedicated Art Sherpa student. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Wow that is so sweet Toni Backus Thank you very much
THANK YOU! I wish this video had been around a couple of years ago when I first started painting! You're helping SO many people!
Thank you Lindsay
This is the BEST tutorial I've watched. Just started painting folkart scenes and didn't have the first clue. Bought everything from Gesso, acrylic 16×20 paper, different size canvas set, 30 different acrylic paint colors, 2 sets of brushes, an easel, a paint and pallete set. Lol...now I just have to learn what I'm doing. Fingers crossed.
Well this course will most definitely get you started in the right direction 💖
This is the first time seeing this video. I've wanted to start painting for the longest time and this video really gave me the boost of motivation needed to get started. You're great teacher. Many thanks🇿🇦🤗❤️
Your enthusiasm is so so important in a teacher! Art can be intimidating for those not good at it (me) but you keep the fun element alive and that's so inspiring! Thank you! ❤️

Start from the beginning very helpful for those who really want to learn the craft , from the things to remember ,the materials to use and how to use them, and even the technic on how to blend colors , the brush stokes and everything , i hope I'll be able to learn ..🙏

tHank you so much for this video. Ive searched and searched for the basics you displayed here. I would also like more on using oils
This is a fabulous tutorial and full of the types of tips I was looking for! So many times I get hung up on seemingly tiny things like, "Is this too much paint to put on my paintbrush?" and "Is this the right way to blend these things together?" - Thank you for making this so easy to follow!
You are so welcome! so happy this was helpful
Thank you!!!! Just what I needed. Appreciate how you teach!
Thank you so much for your video. I didn't start trying to paint till late in my sixties and was on the verge of giving up as I felt my work was far too 'flat'. However I have learnt so much from watching this and you have inspired me to keep trying. Your words are so encouraging and I now know that I CAN do it.
Thank you again 💕
Thank you so much. Learning these basics gives me courage. At 65 I'm determined to paint.
Lisa Hart That is awesome thank you

Hey love your video! I'm slowly getting back into painting! I learned some new stuff here! Thank you, God bless 🙌 💖
Oh my god first time ever someone showed HOW to trace a picture....and I don't feel like an idiot doing it. Love it. LOVE YOU!!!!!!!
strugling a whole day trying to paint something but just messing my paints, brushes, clothes, table...everything in paint Iwas so frustrated and stressed out...I think my dog was aswell. I am finally relaxing when watching and listening you just how to use a brush. So Awesome!
Fantastic video for any beginner, like myself. I have always wanted to try painting, but was one who let, "intimidation," get the best of me. However, I am determined to try. So, here goes. It just so happens I was gifted paints for Christmas. So excited and a little nervous. I appreciate your words of wisdom. You are amazing at instructoring!
this things make sense after all...all the topic and technique, from the beginning till the end is very useful i love the video and its not boring to watch.
Thank you for explaining about the water and the brush care tips! Super helpful video! I’m excited to start 🎉
You are most welcome and have fun 💞
You are just the sweetest!
💕💕
Exactly excellent 👏motivated to learn more about methods of aspiring 🎨 acrylic painting techniques as a beginner is very essential and exciting indeed.
Thank youmuch 🧡
Bravo! You are an excellent, detailed teacher who inspires both confidence and knowledge!
I love watching you do demonstrations you or so good an you take your time so you can LEARN AN YOU ARTWORK IS BEAUTIFUL. IAM LINDA FROM SHERMAN TEXAS ❤
I have been fortunate enough to "stumble" across a couple of your videos now. Love them! so clear and concise filled with info I need to know as an absolute beginner at 74! Will be hunting out as many as I can find. My first couple of efforts have been hilarious and I've learnt a lot from making all those "mistakes". Definitely no Rembrandt, but loving the process.
Never too late to start. Keep on painting, you may be Rembrant yet ! 💗
Whoa!! Best tutorial EVER!! YO
oh are SO stunning!! I could watch you all day!! Stunning butterfly necklace!! That is gorgeous!! Love your shirt too!! 😊😊😊😊 Your instructions are absolutely exemplary!!
I love love your necklace!! Just bought $60 of painty and brushes yesterday so I will start today!
Yay! Thank you! I hope you have a blast painting. Come by a live show if you have questions
Watching this again and .... I still love it all ober again! Just wanted to tell you. Going to show to the boys. Funny how easy it can be to forget which videos I have watched that have helped me so much!
A great introduction to help me decide whether to venture into acrylic painting. Thank you!
Thank you so much for everything that were taught. Especially for those encouraging words in the end of the video. ♥♥
Thank you for making this video! Like the person before me, I found this is exactly what I was looking for! During covid 19 quarantine I have been trying my first attempts at acrylic painting and have created a few works I am kind of proud of as a beginner but have a LONG way go and a lot to learn. The skills and knowledge you share here is super helpful!!! Glad you include things that maybe other painters know but beginners may not. Thank you again!
Glad it helped!❤
I am so freaking happy I found this video\channel within Alllll the other TH-cam videos. This one is so comprehensive and informative…. ThankYou, Art Sherpa!! ☺
I really loved this gal’s teaching approach. Love her! Will defo be following her to help on my painting journey ❤️🙏
Thanks so much. The best acrylic video by far.
Thanks a lot 💚
Thank you so much! I’m not an artist but would like to dabble now that I’m retired! You have covered EVERYTHING I will need to know! I’m grateful to you!
It is my pleasure and have so so much fun 💛
I was bought a load of acrylic paint brushes and sponges for christmas and as someone who has only used pastels til now I was very daunted. Your videos have made me feel more at ease although I will be starting small. Thank you.
Girl you are a GODSEND! you officially have a new subscriber. THANK YOU!
I just started a week ago. But I just dove rite in without knowing the preparation process. No one ever talked about canvass prep. Or wat a medium was or how to use it. Wetting the brush to make it flow better. So I just started. Couldn't figure out why my paint wasn't making thin lines. And Cleaning the brushes... I had no FREAKING clue. I " cleaned " them out I thought. But wen I went to paint my next one they wer hard and stiff . But they looked clean. I was wrong. You helped out alot. Oh and now I no more about brush control and position. You are a good teacher. I will be watching and learning more of your techniques. Thank you.
😍😍
Thank you for this wonderful video,I’m 50 years old and drawing is my passion but i never had time for that and I always wanted to paint,i have fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis so I spend most of my time at home with lots of pain,i was thinking that I’m too old and too ill to learn painting acrylic ,i was lost watching lots of different tutorials and accidentally I find this one..I love it ,I absolutely love it .. thank you
You are so welcome, and sending you all the love and light for better treatments with better pain management 💝💝
