Learn how to paint a realistic waterfall with glowing sunrays in this full step by step acrylic painting tutorial for beginners and intermediate artists 🎨

In this complete lesson, I guide you through the entire painting process from start to finish including sketching the composition, painting trees and foliage, creating natural rock formations, and finishing the waterfall with flowing water and glowing light rays.

This tutorial combines all three parts of the series into one full lesson so you can paint the entire landscape without interruption.

If you enjoy peaceful landscape painting tutorials inspired by nature, this waterfall scene is a great way to practice light, depth, and realistic water movement.
