Beginner - intermediate acrylic demo. I show my process and hold nothing back! What I cover: - basic layering process to create depth, vibrancy and contrast - how to use opaque pigments vs transparent pigments to blend - using warm and cool colours to create light and shadow - basic colour theory simplified (on a need to know basis for the demo) - flamingo feathers in 5 colours - so much more!

How to what now? Under painting - righto! I made a wash of two colour mixes - one a pinkish orange with a medium yellow base, and the other a purple blue. Both colours had magenta as their secondary colour and so when they blended together on the canvas they didn’t go muddy! I didn’t tone the canvas because I wanted a clear white shining through the bright yellow area of the clouds. I created a very lean wash with solvent and oil paint to get the pigments onto the canvas quickly and transparentl

Two days of blocking in the colours of this study piece. I’m wanting to create a much larger and more intricate version, but need to experiment with colours and composition first.

Described as "the best painting tutorial out there" and "packed with helpful info", students are taking this tutorial I have created and applying it to every part of their practice. "The process is made simple and comprehensive and ultimately it takes the mystery out of hyperrealistic painting." With a new tutorial focusing on feathers about to be released, I am constantly humbled by the incredible feedback from my fellow artists who have used this tutorial. I look forward to sharing more of my

Probably one of my most favourite oil paintings of all time. This piece was meant to be a study for of a larger concept I wanted to trial run. I recreated the clouds and light on the birds and set them into a totally different environment to their original reference. I loved it. Now I’m planning workshops to Italy to paint the flamingos! Flamingos are among my all time favourite birds to paint. So much fun. So going to do another one in 2026! Soundtrack from @uppbeatofficial #birdart #realisticp

Yep, true story 😉 Oil paint on linen This is just the beginning and I feel like I’ve finished it. Thankfully most of these clouds will be covered by trees and birds. I’ve never painted these kind of clouds before and I really like it! It’s just a big painting and the size makes it almost impossible to paint each layer across the whole image in one day. This is four days full time work so far. Let me know your thoughts in the comments ☺️ #paintingprogress #cloudscapes #wildlifeartist #birdpainti

I limited myself to 32 hours (3 full days of painting) to create this portrait. I did it in 33! 😅💪🏻 oil on linen. Reference purchased from Alamy. This painting is going to be the focus of my tutorials for September. Can’t wait to share my process with you on this one! Create detail while working efficiently. This piece was not created to be hyper detailed. I wanted it to be painterly while still capturing the full textures and quirks of the horse. Oil paints by @industriamaimeri Palette by @r

Reliving a painting that took over 2 months to paint in less than 40 seconds… this painting was created initially by putting three different photos together, chopping them up and layering different parts of birds all over the place until the composition came together. Then I worked in 2 applications of oil paint to bring the painting to life. I used almost pure @industriamaimeri oils for the layering process, only adding a clear oil medium to the painting occasionally. I loved creating this piec

Work in progress. Three day work on this painting, perhaps a total of 15 hours so far. There are so many colours in this portrait that it’s getting really exciting! I’ve never done such a colourful cheetah before. I’m looking forward to seeing how this unfolds 😊 follow along to see how it goes! #wildlifepainting #wildlifeartist #wildlifepaintings #wildlifeartists #wildlifeart #fineart #fineartpainting #traditionalpainting #traditionalartwork #traditionalartist #colourfulpainting #cheetah #beaut

It’s been a while since I’ve shared any Emily and Me painting videos. Here’s an old one, where we sang and painted together for over an hour. She did three pieces in the time I did a tiny section 😂 if you can, the sound on for the video makes the difference. Something wholesome and cute to watch today 🥰 may you be blessed xx #wholesomeness #cutevideo #cutereel #cutekidzz #artistathome #paintingtogether #fulltimeartist #workingfromhomelife #oilpainting #oil_painting #acrylicpainting #acrylicpai

I’ve started using clear oil painting medium by Maimeri Puro as my first layer of “paint”. I’ve found it really hard to paint smoothly on dry canvas, but whenever there is a layer of paint there to work on top of, it’s smooth and buttery. The issue with this, obviously, is the mixing of the pigments. So when I found this clear oil medium, which is literally clear oil paint, I got excited! It’s the exact texture and consistency of oil paint - not like a typical medium - so using it as the first l

3 months painting in 6 seconds, lion by lion. Oil painting on linen, original painting in collaboration with @kevinrichardsonfoundation @lionwhisperersa We spent a week taking photos and videos with the drone during the lions enrichment walks. The hardest part was choosing which lions to include and which ones not to. Piecing their poses and fitting them together within a composition that worked took weeks. But the finished piece was worth every second 🤩 Limited edition prints are coming out so

Where should this piece be hung? After 6 months, this oil painting was my first in the “imaginative realism” genre. I love it! As I have always been stuck in straight up “realism”, creating something totally different was exciting. However, I failed at it many times throughout the process. I have always imagined this piece being part of a bridal collection. Tag any bridal companies here that need to have this original in their collection/show room 🤩 #bridalcollection #bridalshowroom #luxurybrid
