How to Paint Autumn Trees -Acrylic Painting
How to Paint Autumn Trees | Acrylic Painting
By Chuck Black Art
Painting realistic trees takes a lot of time and attention to detail. When depicting many trees in a forest such as in a painting like this, layering the foliage and branches properly can be key to creating a beautiful autumn scene. In this video I show you how to paint amazing autumn colored trees with acrylic paint as I begin with this landscape painting. Visit the artist’s youtube channel here.
What colors to use to paint leaves on glass
You can use any color of paints you have or wish, I listed what I used for this project but it is by no means a rigid rule.
Painting on glass is very similar to painting on other surfaces with one caveat, you have to use a lighter touch to spread the paint without lifting it back off. I have to do a second coat for opacity though others seem to do just fine with one.
Get Paint on glass opaque
See how the first coat is not opaque? That is normal.
With the window I first painted a light circle on the back to give me a guideline to follow, it will be washed off once the leaves are all painted. I just used a plate to draw around with a loaded liner paint brush. You can see it in some of the photos, it is a yellow color.
I place a leaf pattern under the glass to follow. I painted this undercoat in one solid color, leaf above is undercoated with the color called Autumn Leaves.
You can see how much more opaque it is with the second coat.
Some I do the undercoat in a double load, but the choice is up to you.
On both I used a pattern placed under the glass to follow but as you can tell I am not exact, it is merely a guideline.
In the video I paint all the leaves for you so you get an idea of how to move your brush. This one below is done without a pattern beneath. The wonderful thing about hand painting is no two are ever just alike.
Key to glass painting is let base coat dry
After letting the base coat dry thoroughly (you can use a blow dryer to speed it up), then you can put on the second coat trying hard not to lift the base coat, it can be tricky but you get the hang of it.
You can see how much more opaque it is with just the second coat. In the video I share how I clean up the edges.
I still wasn’t satisfied with this one so I added another layer.
That is much better.
Painting on glass windows is great fun but what is also wonderful is if you make a mistake it is so easy to wash off to begin again.
Or you can wash it all off and paint a winter scene once the season changes.
If you use regular craft acrylics you can even paint the windows of your home.
