video and you're going to love it so let's get right into it
hey all you beautiful and creative people Wild here to help you become bigger and better
with your painting and creative Adventures first time here need a little help or inspiration
make sure you click that subscribe down below and tick that bell to know when my videos go live
for you mountain mountain mountain requested to show people how to be bigger and better
with them and to be honest I really really really tough except for me it was actually
the easiest thing for me to get to click when I first started painting so I'm going to show
you all my tips tricks hacks in ways to make every single painting you do from here on
out that includes mountains gangbusters Perfection and you're just going to love it so I quartered
off my canvas right here in different sections are you exactly what the mistakes you're making
are and how to fix them mistake number one that you're making is triangles when people
start First painting mountains remind from elementary school that every triangle is a
mountain and that is kind of right with digital or drawing a little bit however when it comes
to painting it makes your mountains look like your mountains look like crap they don't have to be perfectly
symmetrical you can add in bumps or jags or make them a little wonky that's actually going
to make them look more natural for when you paint going forward so no more triangles out
there okay biggest problem number two is when you start to paint boobies now I'll be the
first to admit boobies are great but they don't belong in your landscape painting and
you'll see when people do this with very distant mountains and or Hills in the background will
eventually do one Rolling Hill or mountain and then the a daycare next to it just simply
makes it look like a pair of breasts and it kind of doesn't really fit within the painting
your mountains are not boobs so break that chain sometimes adding just one or a cluster of
three things look more pleasing to the eye in odd number through remember this as you
go forward and also try to add a little bit of variance between each mountain cuz I don't
break that breast shape that's happening within your painting you probably didn't know that
you were painting but now that I pointed out and go back and look at your paintings and
you'll see there's a lot of boobage going on in your painting but let's be honest how
great are boobs moving on problem number is three that you're facing is when you make your mountains too big
the problem when you make your mountains to big as you kind of forget the fact that there's
other parts of the landscape that you have to do you know you've got your middle ground
through Treeline your land how you can have everything flow the foreground all that stuff
when you make your nuts too big all of your landscape starts to get crushed into a lower-third
which actually doesn't balance the painting out so my recommendation for you is when you
start to go smaller than you think you need to and if you have a lot of extra space you
can always add another layer of mountains to break up and give it more depth so stop
making mountains so huge bonus tips of this notice is actually going to help you save
some money cuz you won't be applying as much paint for the canvas and scraping it off and
wasting itself there you go start small one of the biggest problems new painter suffer
out there is a straight line repeat after me nature does not grow in straight line neither
should your painting it was straight line you need a break the mote in this is perfect
if you're a brand new and nervous painter out there can your handshake little bit use
that have it be a little bumpy or jaggedy or sharp or you know Cascade in weird directions
it doesn't have to all be perfect if it's different and unique it stands out look more
natural so please please please stay away from straight lines so we talked about triangles
we talked about boobies we talked about straight lines you know what really happens when you
start doing all the common mistakes we talked about you make your mountains all the same
height and that doesn't happen really a nature either and even if it does you want to break
that mold cuz when you can offset certain things it adds layers and Death Cure painting
and makes it look like this two-dimensional object is now dimensional so when you start
painting I really want you to think about how your mountains are going to be layered and
where they should be at as you progress through your painting trust me he's going to make
them look a thousand times better our next if we have here I call it Go darker and rub
off whenever you paint mountains people generally have a high
couple of reasons but one of the biggest reasons is because you have too much paint already
down on your canvas so when you take your palette knife or any brush and you go across
with that white and it's not sticking or break or coming off that's because it's too slick
underneath that coat of paint that's already on it that won't allow anything to apply so
what I recommend is go darker on your bass tone for your Mount add a little more black
at a little more Prussian Blue whatever color you want to do and add them on their scrape
almost everything off blend it down and then take a bear paper towel in rub is much as
you can off that Candice and what this does is this actually going to expose the canvas
two things a little bit more which means all of those teeth one that paint comes across
it's going to be able to grab those teeth the sand Hansen's of paint brake look on your
gorgeous it's going to look like what is Little Valley that stand out with contrast it looks
amazing now the reason you go darker is because when you rub that paint off with that spare
paper towel it's actually you're taking all the pigment way which means your mountain
is going to get lighter which is why you want to add a darker color so it doesn't take all
that dark contrast between the mountain and the snow long tip here this one right here
is probably one of the best if I could ever give any hints are out there you will be amazed
at how much putting on darker color rubbing off with a paper towel putting your paint
break it will make your mouth and feet so so so much either don't believe me try it
right now so that way when you come back you can leave me a comment down below and let
me know oh my gosh that was an awesome tip you're welcome by the way next we have Tiger
Claws not Tiger King Tiger tae kwon which essentially means if you're right or left
handed and use your palette knife it's easier to have the paint prank one way or the other
cuz that just naturally how your body is built but when you start making mountains you'll
start just breaking the paint all in the same direction for every single mouth and fetch
me and what's that makes it look like is Tiger took its claws and went straight down your
mouth it again leading back to straight lines and making things look symmetrical which is
going to make your painting not look natural to make it look really weird and kind of you
know a little poor InDesign so we want to break away from doing tigerclaw the easiest
tip for that is draw or either scratching some guidelines for your mouth so that way
you can visualize what's going to go off in your painting and easiest thing for that it's
just use the tip of your palette knife right there and just carved in in the paint what
shape or design or flow or style you want your snowsuit go again this is an awesome
tip so start using this guideline now this next is a little more for an advanced person
out there but if he can start doing it at the beginning to really help out your as you
paint mountains and they get closer to the foreground you have to remember things are
lighter in the background to two things like air pollution moisture the way light Cascades
in the air and catches clouds and just a fusion of light and as things slowly get closer they
get more details there gets more visibility and yes things get darker and they have more
contrast so essentially the best tip I can give you here as if you plan three mountains
make a mountain mixture color that you think would be good in the middle then break that
mixture into three parts leave your middle one the way that you want and add a little
bit of white or a lighter color to our background mountains this will make it look like it's
sitting way far back as there's less contract and then add some darker colors to add some
eggs brown or some crimson red or Prussian Blue or any type of black and this will darken
it and make it much more Richard and when you do all three of these you've already naturally
created a beautiful light Cascade across all of your mounts that look natural with only
just making some simple adjust I hope that kind of makes sense essential oils down to
have a lighter color have a middle color and have a darker color all for the bass tones
of your mountains maybe I should have probably just say that but you know I want to go Martin's
