Hi. There are a few ways to prevent this. Firstly make sure you blend with plenty of white paint near the horizon and use very small amounts of colour. For sunsets I try to use a warm blues such as phthalo blue (red shade not green shade) and ultramarine blue. Also, avoid using any plain yellows. Orange will be less likely to become green when it is mixed with blue.
Hi my friend. Thanks for the beautiful video you shared. Very interesting, thanks for sharing, keep in touch. I wish you much success with your work,💞💕.💞,💞💓.
This one is painted on a mdf board primed with acrylic gesso. I recommend using a canvas if possible but primed board is great for practice. If your canvas is too rough add a few more layers of primer, sanding between each layer.
Great idea. I sometimes do that too. It is the best way to get a perfect horizon, and if the paint bleeds underneath the tape you can fix it easily using a flat brush.
For me as well. Adding retarder to the paint to slow down the drying time simply makes it mix weird and looks weird. Best thing is is to go over the canvas with a wet brush - get it entirely wet, which helps prevent it from drying to quick on the surface.
There are a few things you can try to help with this problem. Ensure the canvas is properly primed. Wet the canvas and brushes before painting. Add acrylic retarder to your paint. Spray a mist of water over the paint as you are working and try to work quickly. And yes, using more paint may help as well. Thanks for watching.
Hi again, The main challenge (at least to me) in painting a realistic winter sunset is in blending from blue to yellow-orange colors without the mix turning green as a result. Can you advise if you ever did that kind of blending? Thanks
+OLEG LITVAK If you use a warm blue such as ultramarine, and add a little red to it you will create an almost indigo colour which will not turn green when it blends with the orange-yellow colours. It will however become greyish and look a bit "muddy" if you overwork it. I would start with the dark blue area at the top or the sky and blend that with plenty of white near the horizon to show light coming from below. Then slowly add your oranges and yellows working up from the horizon.
This looks great, but it would be nice to have more instruction as you go ... for instance, are you cleaning the brushes at some point as you paint, and with what ... also, do you use a medium with the paint, or just water, and how much. My paint gets really sticky - not sure why ... thanks!
Yes, my questions exactly! I'm also wondering about your brushes. What size are they? Natural or synthetic? I have never painted in my life, but I'd like to start.
Great question. Since the ultramarine blue and phthalo blue are quite warm types of blue they are neutralized by the yellow/orange colours. They are complimentary or quite close to it. Look up colour wheels and complimentary colours for more information. Thanks. Shaun.
Amazing lesson - thanks. I want to paint a similar sky but green (hills) background, so i guess i would simply substitute the blue you used for the sea, with a green for the hills? thanks
I add plenty of water to the brushes before starting and maybe up to 10% water to the paint if required. That can make it easier to work with. If your paint still isn't thin enough you can add some liquifying medium to the paint. I usually don't add any during this stage.
Thanks. I have been using more Atelier Interactive paints lately. They have a retarder in them which makes them great for blending, especially for a sky where you can use water to give you a bit more time to work. I have had a few problems when working over dry paint but I think that was due to my own impatience. Cheers. Shaun.
There are a few ways that I do it. I apply the blue at the top and orange at the bottom with plenty of white space between which can be carefully blended without over-blending which would give it a dull muddy colour. Secondly, have a look at some photos of clear sunset skies. You will notice that the blue at the top of the sky is usually a warm blue shifted toward purple. When that colour is mixed with a warm yellow/orange it will become grey and you won't get a green area between the top and bottom of your sky.
nikki F. hey mate don't directly use yellow after blue after doing the blue give a Base of white and use yellow on that and for finish look add white in the middle of blue and yellow paint
Thanks for watching. This one is painted on MDF board primed twice with gesso. You can get canvases that are almost as smooth. Or add a couple of layers of gesso before painting. A little bit of texture in the canvas is good though, unless you are painting very fine details.
Shaun Ryan Thanks for the info :) I've painted one painting on mdf, in oils - few years ago now. Only thing is because it's big it's a little heavy. I've thought about gessoing and sanding my canvases but I figure they're already primed so it seems extra work to me. Smooth ones are more expensive.
Ye aap konse color use kar rahe ho inka koi dusra nam h kya kyu hamare gav me to water color milte h ye jo aap kare ho ye nahi milte h please in he kya bolte h
El Dc 3 vendria a ser VW escarabajo para esta epoca..yo viaje Lima-Tacna-Lima en el año l959.con recorrido de apx 2400 km..despues en el año 70 fui Cuzco-Quincemil-Pto.Maldonado-Cuzco..el copiloto era amigo y me invito a la cabina..era un VW..
Could you please tell what exactly synthetic brush you use? And also it looks like you use it dry and clean just for smooth blending and not painting? Thanks
+OLEG LITVAK Hi, after applying the paint roughly I do an initial blend using a 70mm Golden Nylon Flat brush which is damp with little or no paint on it to start with. Then I do a final blend lightly with a dry medium sized taklon fan brush.
There has been a bit of discussion about this in the comments. Using a warm blue and mixing the yellow with red to make it slightly orange will move you further away from green on the colour wheel and should help to avoid the green tinge. Also make sure there is plenty of titanium white in the intermediate zone before you start to blend them, together.
Great stuff Shawn, but when I tried it I ended up with "green sky"! Any thoughts how to prevent that with future sky blends? Note I am using Liquidtex paints- Thanks HS
I am having a hard time finding tutorials on how to paint bright, sunlit scenes. Anyway you can do a tutorial on how to achieve this effect? Like a sunny day on a Caribbean beach.
Hi. Send me a photo of the kind of scene you are thinking of painting. Or find one on google images and I will see if I can do a tutorial based on that.
Hi again, I would like to see you painting a sunset sky - do you plan such a video in the future? I am struggling to get color transitions from grey-ish blue at the top to orange to pink to violet at the horizon (I am trying in painting a winter sunset) Thanks
+OLEG LITVAK I don't get much time to make videos these days but a sunset is definitely on the list. Sunsets are fascinating and understanding what causes the various colours is important. If you can get the type of blue right (warm or cool) that is a great starting point and often the key to a successful sunset. If possible, get a colour wheel and compare it to some sunset photos to see how the colour gradients usually work.
This one was on a board painted with gesso. I usually use cotton canvas which has been covered with three layers of white gesso. If it's drying too quickly and leaving tiny dots then try using more paint to make the layer thicker.
It is a golden nylon flat brush made by DAS. I think they only sell them here in New Zealand but you should be able to pick up something similar with synthetic bristles and a similar size. I like this one because it is quite thin and doesn't hold too much paint which makes it perfect for finishing off a sky.
In acrylic while doing sky the paint dry quickly before merging. Then how to merge colour if it dries,from very dark to light and more light before making river. That also in canvas. 2 because wheat her in India is quite hot with result if I add water and paint in canvas in stand it drip water along with colour can u teach me basic how to paint clouds that also smaller clouds and merge in sky. To a raw person who has never painted sky & clouds with lesson
+Rimu Malhotra If you find that the paint is drying too quickly you can add a small amount of retarder which will slow the drying time. Make sure your brushes are wet before starting and keep them wet by washing your brushes in water. Keep a water bottle nearby so you can lightly spray water over the canvas and try to blend quickly. You can also add a liquifying medium or some types of acrylic varnish medium to your paint so that you don't end up with too much water in the paint. I hope that helps.
Hi Shaun, I'd the first layer of white you are using a gesso primer that you just start painting on while wet? Or is it something special? Absolutely love how this sky and blending look
I think this one is on a cotton canvas stretched over a board. Or it may be on a board primed with white Gesso. Sorry, it has been a while since I painted this one but I usually paint on cotton canvas.
Just letting you know that GOD sent HIS Son, Jesus, to die for us. He loves us all. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is LORD, and believe in your heart that GOD raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved. I also encourage you to try to gain relationship with GOD. Read the Bible, and pray. Trust in HIM.❤❤
That can be because of too much overlap of yellow and blue. Make sure the blue is warm enough (ie closer to purple) and that the yellow has some red in it. That will give you more of a neutral or grey middle area where they blend together.
When I tried to do this before your video, it took me ~4 hours. After your video, it took ~15 minutes, and I get it! Thank you..

Dries so fast. I can never get mine to do this.
Have you added a mixing medium? It slows the dry time to be able to blend.
@@melissadowney8177 She could also try water if she doesnt have any.
Or mixing titanium white with walnut oil coating the canvas prior to painting.
A big brush could help for the background,covers more ground of the painting at once
For me as well. Adding retarder to the paint to slow down the drying time simply makes it mix weird and looks weird. Best thing is is to go over the canvas with a wet brush - get it entirely wet, which helps prevent it from drying to quick on the surface.
Thank you so very much. I’ve started enjoying painting later in life and this was such a great explanation of it.
Thank you! I'm really glad it helped.
Loved this, you make it look so easy, also liked the soft tune too so easy on the ears whilst painting. 👍🖌
Thanks for the instructions, really simple, I think I can do that as a beginner.
Thanks a lot for all your great help and advices!
Simple and nice painting , this help us to learn from you , thank you very much.
I find that my paint dries too fast when I'm blending, should I be using more paint or doing something else? :s

I use flow impover
Thanks for the details! You do it so easy with acrylics, great work!
nice , calm and easy just what i needed
Wonderful sky!! :-)
I did this with oil painting and it came out nicely! And it doesn't dries too fast lol!
how come the yellow didnt turn the blue in the sky green at all??

You can use a color bridge by adding a fade with colors between two colors to seperate the two. color in between the two are bridging colors

Love this. Thank you.
Did this on my school pc, and it was actually pretty simple, I'm really suprised
What materials make your acrylic paint dry slower? My acrylic paint dries quickly. What should I do?
do you use acrylic binder or anything to smothe the colors?

Pretty cool thanks
Nice job l like it so l. Want to join with you
Love watching this, thank you for the demonstration. :O
nice blending...what brand of acrylics do you use?
WOW!! Still working on how to make like that!!
Helpful vid. Your canvas was very smooth. Can you buy them like that (I've never seen them) or did you gesso and sand it?

Can I ask to you the acrylic paint need water when you paint.?
Ye aap konse color use kar rahe ho inka koi dusra nam h kya kyu hamare gav me to water color milte h ye jo aap kare ho ye nahi milte h please in he kya bolte h
Makes me want to pull out my paints. :)

What is your canvas material? I do it on canvas pad ,i can never stroke it that much, it dries plus dots remain

What ever brush your using, I need to buy that.

on which thing do you paint??? plz let us know..
Neha Amrin mdf board with gesso
wonderful
From where do u get the white acrylic paint ???????😢
Ajay Kumar Singh It should be available from any art shop. It's usually called Titanium white.
i would like to know if i could use this same technique on a wall?
Yes, you can paint a wall in the same way. Just make sure that is is primed with a suitable undercoat.
Is is possible if I change blue to purple ?
yes. purple or a warm blue mixed with red will work well for the sky.

Atelier Interactive.
HI JUST JOINED GREAT TIPS CAN YOU SHOW HOW TO PAINT A SUNSET
THANKS SO MUCH
Thanks for watching, I will be making a video on how to paint a sunset soon.
THANK YOU
+Shaun Ryan soon? im waiting for your sunset too!!!
is that red or orange?
Rex Giles Do you mean the paint on the palette? It is a warm red. If you have orange use it and you wont need to add as much yellow.
May I combine blue and white?
Bonnie Daño yes. You can combine them before you apply them to the canvas.
NIce elevator music
verry good
what did you do after the yellow, it looked like more white with the big black brush.
Added some white between the yellow and blue so I could blend without mixing the yellow and blue too much right away.
WHATS THE PAPER YOU USE ??
I think this one is on a cotton canvas stretched over a board. Or it may be on a board primed with white Gesso. Sorry, it has been a while since I painted this one but I usually paint on cotton canvas.

My toxic trait is thinking I can paint like in front of my communications class 💀 and get a 100 manifesting pray for me y’all
cooll..........
What brand of paint?
I usually use atelier interactive. It's good for painting the sky because the drying time can be extended by spraying a mist of water over the canvas.
Mine turns green 😭
That can be because of too much overlap of yellow and blue. Make sure the blue is warm enough (ie closer to purple) and that the yellow has some red in it. That will give you more of a neutral or grey middle area where they blend together.
