Greetings from Zapopan, Jalisco, México
Hi! Nice to see you here :)
I've never heard of the unlocking formula. It will really help me cause I'm not always able to work on my paintings quick enough to be able to blend my colors enough. I will hafta see if that product is available in my area. I appreciate your instructions and advice.
You are so welcome!
thanks Mark, I needed a refresher of the sunset thing from the last workshop - I have still never finished that piece and think I must might just start from the beginning
Hey Kath, have you done the homework I prescribed? Love Dr Mark.

Hi Linda, we have quite a lot of clips on this channel showing how to paint water. Check out the playlist th-cam.com/play/PLbRTq9lnYzEBjOhtrfefxQJaiAHzRO80M.html Cheers Mark W :)
Thanks
No problem!
Hi Mark would have loved you to finish the painting
Your video really helped , thanks a lot:)
Hi..I have just learnt wet on wet painting.. did this sunset painting in water colour..Turned out quite nice.. Though not as cool as yours.thankyou
Thanks MARKO
Hi Suzanne, for some reason it won't let me reply to any of your comments - but thanks for all of them! Yes, you can purchase from the UK, just go to our Shop page at www.explore-acrylic-painting.com for more info on our tutorial products. And yes, there is gesso on the canvas in most cases! Cheers, Mark W.
Fantastici
Thank you 😊
Liked and Subbed. Well done, man. Cheers
Beautiful you are great
love your paintings and im just 10 year old I dream of becoming an artist
Hi Md, glad you like my paintings, and don't give up on your dreams. It really is one of the best things to do in the world. Cheers, Mark W :)
Your first step, then, is learn to draw. Your drawing is the "bones" of your painting. If the drawing isn't right the painting won't be right. So, get busy, take drawing lessons, and don't ever give up your dream!
Hi, i love the way your brushes seem to hold the paint. Can you please tell me what brushes you are using for this painting? Thanks in advance.
very nice way of teaching.... loved ur paintings.. just one question.. can I make the same with oil colors??
Where can we see the finished product of this painting? I want to give it a go but I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to complete it nicely.
Thanks!
Hey, great stuff. You might have gotten comments like this before, but anyway to reshoot in 1080p or 4K?
Thanks!
What is “interactive” and you mentioned another product that makes it more blendable like oils?
Atelier Interactive artists acrylics by Chroma paints. You can add Unlocking Formula to keep the mobility of the paint extended :)
Love your painting techniques! Would you be willing to post a video on how to paint clouds. All kinds of clouds. Day clouds, night clouds & even storm clouds. I'm currently in the process of painting a storm painting & the clouds are not coming out the way I want.
Hi Jay4891T, thanks for your positive comments. Here's another clip on clouds: th-cam.com/video/ItHUmFdpOZ0/w-d-xo.html and we also have a page on the website on clouds www.explore-acrylic-painting.com/how-to-paint-clouds.html There will definitely be more on TH-cam on clouds in the future, but hope that helps for now. Cheers, Mark W :)
I want to paint this and was wondering is there a finished one? Im still learning & dont have the imagination enough to finish the bottom part ;)
Hmmm, not really on TH-cam. You could search under "sunset" on the channel if you like and see what you can find? Otherwise, we do have this downloadable tutorial in the shop which might suit you: www.explore-acrylic-painting.com/tropical-sunset-v-log.html
Ti vorrei come insegnante..magnifico !
perfeito!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well I've tried to paint this on and off over a few years... I always end up with a dry scratchy mess. I can mix the colours, no problems but I just can't get the colours to blend before drying even on a small area. I'm not using expensive paints could that be the problem? Many thanks in advance.
DeansVideoClips Use retarder or blending medium to extend drying time
i just found you and im like woooowww.
+glass of wine I just read your comment and I'm like coooooooooll ;)
Hi Mark.... I'm new to the world of acrylic painting/art. I've been searching high and low for a video tutorial that shows an easy and awesome sunset gradient/blend. Yours is by far THE BEST! Thank you for posting. I do have a question... What is Permanent Alizarin.
Hi HGAviator - thanks for your kind comments! And, no problem. Permanent Alizarine is a "cool red" produced by Chroma Australia, the paint is called Atelier Interactive Artist Acrylic, Permanent Alizarine. Hope that helps! Cheers Mark W.
Can I see your full painting of this video?
Hi Khaleda, Unfortunately there is no full video for this painting. Cheers, Mark W.
fantastic video. what is your pallet made of?
Can we buy from the UK just love your teaching and its in English I love the beach and the waves and the sunset so I will be looking to buying some of your DVD 's
That was Great. 👍❤️
I Wish you would have finished it. .. is there some place I can see more of your Tutorials?
Hi Trish on our tutorial website at www.explore-acrylic-painting.com :) Cheers, Mark W.
Thank you for this tutorial.
Great name scoobidoowaa! Thank you! :)
Thank you Mark- I love this one! I have practiced gradients so maybe my sunsets will look amazing! I had your "recipes" on my other computer but it is not working. Neither is your link. Did you take it down?
Hi Helen, I'm not sure where it went! I'll get that fixed asap. In the meantime go to www.explore-acrylic-painting.com/color-mixing-recipes.html to download them again. Cheers :) Mark W.
Thank you, Mark!! I am having fun with this!
what if i want to paint something bigger? like a room? same procedure?
Do you prep your canvas with anything? Also do you dampen your canvas to get the paint to spread without drying so fast? Arcylics Dry so fast .. thank you
Hi Trish, no not in general. And no, I don't dampen the canvas however you can if you like, particularly with a large painting, wet the back of the canvas before you do a large gradation. I use Atelier Interactive Artists Acrylics which IMO are superior acrylics to blend with. You can use a product called "Unlocking Formula" to keep the paint mobile however water will also do this. Cheers, Mark W.
THANKS BROTHER
I just want to ask if this is applicable to oil paint? and if it's applicable do i use paint thinner instead of water?
Hi Reynaldo, yes is the short answer. You would probably use mineral turpentine to thin your oil paint. However, there are lots and lots of products for thinning oil paints. Personally I'd like my first few coats to dry as fast as possible, so I'd be looking for products that accelerate the drying time of oils. Cheers, Mark W.
Amazing work like always, and inspiring. Just wish I could find these paints here in South Africa. Never even heard of 'Interactive' acrylics, and open medium? The link to "color-mixing-recipes" does not work. Thanks!
Hi ZakZky007, thanks for your message. Try the link now, it should work - I removed the full stop at the end! I can contact Chroma HQ and see where your nearest stockist is if you like, or you can go to www.artscene.com.au for the full range of paints. OR, you can purchase the recipe pack from us (which includes the paints you need) using the color-mixing-recipes link for recipe packs. Thanks for your positive comments! Cheers, Mark W :)
Thank you so much! Going to give it a try, Would a silhouette work into the foreground?
Sure would. Just remember that the silhouette will be warmer closer to the light source. You may want to use Permanent Alizarin and Pthalo blue to get your dark colour and diminish the Pthalo Blue as you get closer to the sun. Maybe even add a touch of Cad yellow light. ( Warning. if it goes green then you have too much blue in the mix.)
Thank you for the response. I look forward to seeing all your videos! :DD
Браво! Скажите пожалуйста,а вы используете краски масляные или акриловые?
Hi there, I use acrylics mainly. Cheers, Mark W.
