Acrylic Painting for Beginners – Easy Effect

Fast and Easy Acrylic Painting Technique for Beginners – Creating Waterfall Effect —

TECHNIQUE ONLY – NOT A FULL TUTORIAL

NOTE: Remember the old Seinfeld episode about the “close talker”? This video reminds me of that…it was shot a bit too close…sometimes it gets a bit blurry, but I decided to share it because it’s a pretty decent technique…don’t say I didn’t warn you!

SIMPLE – FAST – EASY TECHNIQUE

I call this a “waterfall” effect which is basically cascading colors that you can build a pretty waterscape over.

I used a few different items:

  • Prepped canvas board
  • Acrylics: turquoise, cerulean blue, gold, white
  • Texture: already applied to board – molding paste
  • Flat brush
  • Palette knife

Happy painting!
