On this episode of #PaintLikeAPro present you ways I paint the water reflecting beneath a beautiful sundown. I educate you tips on how to construct up layers of paint to make real looking waves and reflections.

If in case you have any questions on one thing I lined or perhaps one thing I did not cowl I’m very happy to reply.

Supplies I used:
– Golden Fluid Acrylics (titanium white, carbon black, napthol pink, Major yellow)
– Water for mixing with paint
– Spherical blender and scrumbling brushes from artist loft and princeton. Varied different brushes I cowl within the video.

  2. This is a very beautiful sunset painting. I only wish I could have my paintings look more realistic than they do. No matter how much I follow your (or any other artist's) instructions, I can never get the sun to look like it's glowing, as your paintings always look. I also can never make my water look realistic. My paintings always turn out to be quite cartoonish. Any suggestions ? I appreciate your advice and help. TY for sharing with us.

  5. So THAT'S how you do the water! Thank you so much for these videos. This video is very helpful!!! Oh, and would you think over painting a SUN RISE, a decent sized waterfall (and little flowers…misty dew morning etc..) and a couple sitting together somewhere in the painting (romantic scene)? My son wants me to paint one like I'm asking you to do for us, but I am just not at that stage in the learning process without watching an advanced painter, like yourself, whip up the magical colors into an outstanding painting. I just can visualize you videoing this for us. Oh, pretty pretty please @Chuck 🙂

  19. Hi Chuck,
    I have a question about the consistency of your paints. Your paints looks much more runny than the paints that I have. Do you thin your paints or are the brands of paints that you use just that runny?

    Thank you for your videos. You are an excellent presenter and your videos are very informative.

  21. Thanks for this great tutorial. I just wish I had found it say, two days ago while I hve been struggling with the reflections of sunset on the water. Struggle has been the operative word even though I am using a photo. I painted it over in white twice and repainted it and I am still not happy with it! I have to call it finished now because I am getting impatient with it, and I can honestly say I don't l ike my painting at all! Watching your tutorial, I might find the courage and patience to try another one!

  22. You are amazing! I would be afraid to streak the black over the canvas like you did. I would have a mess and it wouldn't look anything like a body water. Someday maybe I'll learn how to do what you do.
    Thank you so much for showing us this tremendous talent you have.

  29. Really appreciate watching the process. Question…do you find the fluids going farther than same amount of heavy bodied? Also, I've been contemplating using some W&N Griffin Alkyds over acrylics for a more refined blend in some areas,( i.e. clouds). Thinking that I'd be able to retain the fast drying quality (within 24 hrs) that I favor acrylics for. Your thoughts?
