How To Draw and Paint A WISHING WELL in Acrylics | step by step tutorial

Hi everybody, it's Joann here. Welcome back to my channel for another acrylic painting tutorial. Today I'm working on a 16 by 20 white gesso primed canvas. First color I'm going to start off with is green. I'm going to just start Sort of coming in and framing in The sides here And I'm going to pull a little bit of this green I'm also going to pull lightly down below here Just coming in and adding Some bushes and trees Leaving a few spaces You don't have to have the exact same ratio of blue, green, and black every time you come in and add a tree. I want to have a waterfall in the distance A little bit more of a blue Dark spot, and then we can build up from that Layers are still wet like mine are It works just fine. If you want to add it to dry underpainting, that's fine as well And we know we're gonna have our wishing well somewhere like right in here So don't spend too too long with Your branches. Otherwise, you might be a little bit disappointed when you realize you were gonna cover them up anyways So I'm just kind of kind of keeping that in mind. We're about to have My wishing well I'm gonna take a little bit of water Dipping my water in before or after I add the paint I'm coming in from like all angles with my branches From the side Here and then making some of these a little bit thicker Start to tap Along the side here, rocks in here A little bit more in the waterfall When you kind of shake a little bit with your brush, you'll create a little gentle movement And then we're gonna just go across the base Wiggle and squiggle around Spray at the bottom Some of our existing branches and bushes You can come down here and add a little bit partially over the darkest areas and a little bit above The edge here So on the side here and the top I'm going above the black but Down here, I'm gonna go into the black leaving some black below I'm going to sweep out a little bit in here, a little less amount of water And I'm gonna come and layer in a little bit of warmth over here I'm going to build these layers up in colors before we come in and Fade them out with our mist I'm just going to add a tree back here, a tree or two that have this pretty lavender color Delicate branches Add a little bit of foliage here Little hints of this Break up some of that green Light on a round brush, and I'm just gonna add a little bit more Up here to the waterfall Match the top there And then bright white right inside this area here We'll be here, start one side and then the other side I'm gonna bring it up about two inches I'm gonna have a little bit of water on my brush to help And then another one right about a quarter of the way down and across And across Leave the top line of the roof black And then we're just gonna come down With that burnt sienna Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap You'll be able to create a little bit of texture in there Add a line there, and another one there Another one there I'm gonna take a little bit more black I'm gonna create a little rope by just using the end of my brush, looping up and over Just having a little bit like that just hanging Okay, the next thing I want to do is take a mop brush Some sap green And I'm gonna start adding some moss, a little bit of moss here on the top And a little coming down over the edge I'm gonna take some white, some yellow And do this kind of area A little hint of it A little bit more of the sap green I just want to get a little bit more right on the side I'm gonna have a line that comes around A little bit of yellow and white in the back I don't want it to be too, too bright I want it to show up a little bit more Especially around the edge here because it was blending and getting lost with the water in the background Here and there On the roof And a few here Then I'll start adding a little bit Along the side A little bit over where we had that red Blue and purple there And start adding some petals Some flowers I just want them to be starting to trail up and a little bit down, getting smaller and smaller I'm gonna make some of these on different angles So we're gonna see fuller petals there And then from the side, we're not gonna see all the petals So they just turn into little dabs So kind of just dab, dab, dab there And then the full petals I just wanna make them a little smaller and smaller Let's just see So I'm just going on an angle For the perspective That these would be on And then it switches And it goes straight And then they just disappear I'm gonna come in and add Some more petals Same way And it's fine to overlap Go into the brush, brush and pull, let off A little bit more Of the highlight on this side Add a few little All I'm doing, you guys, is really just adding Little dabs I love painting things Really just impressionistically Just a little bit of Build this up here along The stairs The stairs here in the path A few little flower bushes here Mix that up I hope you guys are enjoying this painting tutorial, by the way Don't forget to Check out My other fantasy landscapes I've got a whole playlist of them If you like this Of a style of painting It's fun too Thanks for watching and subscribing to my channel Head over to Patreon if you'd like Even more content like this I've got some wonderful full length tutorials Exclusive content waiting for you there Take care everyone, I'll see you soon Happy painting, bye!
