Pratica di Shadowing: Acrylic Painting Tutorial - Ocean Sunset (Beginner to Intermediate) - Impara a parlare inglese con i video

Bye.

Hey, you might notice I'm somewhere a little different.

I just moved like two weeks ago, which is why there's been no videos up.

Ow, that sun.

The sun is so bright.

My studio is not cute right now, it's a disaster.

But this is our new house.

We just moved in and as soon as we got in, The world kind of imploded a little.

It's a little different.

It's a little unnerving.

But I've been seeing a little up spike in my painting tutorial videos.

So people have been staying inside and trying to paint a little bit to distract them from everything.

So I thought I'd put out a new tutorial video while everyone's kind of stuck in their houses right now.

On something that's fairly easy, but like calming and cute.

I painted it in my sketchbook a little while ago.

Let me just find it.

It is not a super crazy difficult painting.

Medium beginner, but I think you're gonna be able to do it.

It's gonna be acrylics.

A sweet calming painting to put up in your house if you're losing your mind a little bit right now, like I am.

So let's go to shop.

Let's go try it.

Okay.

Let's get started painting.

It looks like I'm pregnant, but there's really just a puppy in there.

There she is.

We're gonna get started.

So let's look at our materials real quick.

We've got an array of brushes.

We're just gonna choose them as we go along because that's how I like to do things.

I like to just choose whatever brush I want in the moment.

We've got something to paint on.

I'm just gonna use this little plate right here.

This is an artist panel by Arteza, Arteza, whatever the hell her name is.

We have a little bit of water here.

We have a little bit of water here some paper towels.

We're also gonna need our reference photo. Where is it?

Where is it?

There it is.

So if you want you can take a screenshot of this right now

and look at it while we're painting or you can just follow along with what I'm doing.

Whatever you feel like.

So the colors I'm gonna be using are titanium white, cyan blue, quinacridone red, yellow medium azo.

Just use what you can.

Just basically have a red, a yellow, a blue, and a white.

and that will get you wherever you need to go for this piece.

It's gonna be totally good.

So, what we're gonna do is start with creating this gradient.

We're gonna work on some acrylic blending and this is pretty tricky.

So I want you to be super patient with yourself when you're working on this.

So what we're gonna do is we're gonna start with this light blue

and then over time we're slowly gonna tweak it and change it into this color.

So let's start by mixing that guy up.

Get some of that on here.

But mostly what we're gonna be using is white.

I'm gonna mix up some light blue.

Bye.

So on the color wheel the opposite color from blue is orange

and what that means is

if I add the color orange to my blue It will mute the color down a little bit.

So it's not quite as vibrant just like a tiny tiny little bit I want just the tiniest smidge

and this is going to mute it down just like a tiny bit

so it's not quite too vibrant and just makes it a little more realistic.

It's very subtle.

You might not even notice the difference.

Because I'm doing a big painting here, I'm gonna have to use a pretty big brush.

I'm gonna get a little bit of water going in here.

And I'm gonna start applying this.

Actually like real quick actually, I want to just really quickly put my horizon line in here.

I just want something to give me an idea of where the water is gonna meet the sky.

To create a little bit of a blend, we're gonna add a little more white to our blue, just a little, and we're gonna start.

While this is still wet, mixing in our lighter blue color.

With the same dirty brush, And we can pull it up a little bit. and drag it across.

It's gonna be pretty subtle, but then I'm gonna add more white.

Get that going on there like that.

Just like that.

you .

I'm gonna wipe this off real quick.

I'm gonna go in with just some pure white there.

you I'm blending this out real quick while it's still wet.

Just blending that like this.

I am going to give my brush a little wash in our water here.

And then I'm going to mix up.

Let's take this it's kind of a weird green right now

It's a little bit of this light blue mixed with a little bit of red

and a little bit of yellow a little This is just our little transition color.

It looks like puke.

Don't do not do not be concerned I know this is a very scary color to be adding, but this is a big part of blending is finding those in between colors There we go.

All right, and now we've done that can start moving toward yellow some of that weird green in there.

And now we're moving to yellow.

And a little bit of that red.

Bye.

and there we go See what's happening now?

Does that make more sense?

100

The puke color is not quite so scary now that we go into this yellow.

101

you Bye.

102

Bye.

103

The trick to blending with acrylics I found is making sure you're moving pretty quickly.

104

And it can be tricky, especially if you're not super used to color mixing.

105

Bye.

106

Bye.

107

Thank you.

108

So I just add a little bit of water to that and now I'm blending this up.

109

you you Now we're going for a much orangey of color, leaning more towards like pinkish.

110

Wow, that is too red, so we're gonna add white to that.

111

Bye.

112

We want a color in the water that kind of reflects a middle part of the sky.

113

It's gonna be partially blue I'm taking some of this blue partially blue partially some of that red.

114

It's gonna be kind of a little bit of a weird Gray like a warm gray color.

115

It might look weird at first.

116

Do not stress, this is just a base color for us.

117

you Say hallelujah, come on, get happy.

118

So we want to make some More yellow and orangey tones.

119

and more red.

120

So it's more like some of these orangey tones.

121

Just in little places.

122

This is just kind of creating a little bit of hotter light reflection texture.

123

If this is dried, that's totally okay if you're just doing this on top.

124

Mine happens to still be a little bit wet.

125

Just a little something right here.

126

Yeah.

127

Just like that.

128

you Kind of mix some of these together, just like that.

129

Streak on some of these.

130

Very subtle, very simple, and it's just for us to have a little something to work on top of.

131

We're gonna add more color on top of this later, but I just want to add a little something to what's going on.

132

here.

133

We want to create Bye.

134

some of these little waves here.

135

Alright, so we're gonna mix up that darker blue.

136

And we're gonna add little bits of yellow.

137

Oh, that's red.

138

I need to go back to preschool currently.

139

Add a little more of that red and a little more of that yellow.

140

Bye.

141

Bye.

142

you Bye.

143

Bye.

144

Bye.

145

I think I'm going to go with a smaller brush, but it's a similar angle.

146

So what we're going to do now is add the shadowed parts of our waves.

147

This is where the light is not really hitting and where the definition of our ways is going to come from.

148

We're gonna start by making these shapes that kind of get thicker and then thin out.

149

and have little peaks on them.

150

And we're gonna connect some together.

151

So I want you to start at the bottom and then work towards this horizon line here, and as you get closer,

152

your waves are going to start to get smaller.

153

I'm going to go to the next one.

154

and make them real nice and thin as we move back just like almost just like little streaks

155

from our horizon here you you I'm going to put a little bit of a bag of water.

156

Bye.

157

I So let's get this color in a very light version.

158

Bye.

159

so we can make some pretty highlights.

160

Tiny little dabs of yellow and tiny little dabs of red.

161

very slowly until I get to a color that I think I like.

162

I'm putting this on in little streaks that aren't Our...

163

dark shadow areas.

164

Bye.

165

Oh you I'm going to add a little more yellow to this and some more white as we transition.

166

further down.

167

Well, that's two yellows and I have a lot more white.

168

I'm gonna take some 'cause I have some left over, and then add white to it.

169

Actually, maybe I'm gonna add a little bit of this too, when you look down a smidge.

170

Bye.

171

Bye.

172

Bye.

173

I'm thinking now that I'm seeing this, I think I wanted to find the darker waves a little bit more.

174

We used red and we used yellow.

175

you Bye.

176

Bye.

177

you Bye.

178

Bye.

179

Bye.

180

Bye.

181

Bye.

182

Bye.

183

you Music I'm kinda like doing this where I start to darken some of my areas,

184

because it creates some like cool layering effects.

185

by having lighter areas

186

underneath my darker areas that makes it like It's just more transitional places and it has a lot of cool detail

187

that was unintentional to the piece, I end up really liking it.

188

Bye.

189

you Thank you.

190

I'm going to go to the next one you Thank you.

191

This painting is cool because you can just streak on whatever colors you feel like.

192

And it makes it a really neat reflective piece.

193

As long as you're pulling in the sky colors into your water, Like, wherever you pull your paintbrush across,

194

Like it just creates some really neat things in your painting.

195

Definitely a painting that is dependent on imperfection.

196

Let it be a little bit messy.

197

Let your streaks go wherever.

198

Let it be a little bit chunky.

199

Let it figure itself out.

200

As soon as you start letting go of some of that perfectionism when you're painting the sky, I think you're really going to enjoy the process and the outcome.

201

We're getting to a good spot here.

202

What I want to do is add a little bit of.. of more highlight down the center here.

203

I'm gonna take our white and I want to do a very light, very light orange.

204

Like it's gonna be mostly white in here.

205

That's better.

206

See now?

207

Yeah, let's do that.

208

And I'm just gonna streak this, and I'm gonna center it.

209

in the middle here.

210

So we're going to start adding our little sun and have little lights reflecting on the water.

211

It's just gonna be so pretty.

212

That's the best part of this painting.

213

We're gonna take a very small brush,

214

something that's nice and itty bitty, so that we have lots of control going on here.

215

I'm gonna do, we're gonna go in with our Pure White, right here, I think.

216

I'm gonna add our little sun.

217

Keeping it kind of centered in our painting.

218

So now I'm going to take Brush.

219

I'm gonna start.

220

tapping on these tiny little reflections from the sun onto our water.

221

We're gonna go Just in the center Kind of do them in clusters.

222

You can even streak a little bit.

223

you Do this at whatever pace you feel comfy at.

224

you You kind of start doing like a couple little random dots in places.

225

Just where you think maybe a little bit of light might hit.

226

Bye.

227

you Bye.

228

Bye.

229

you We apply some paint up here just to make sure it's defined really nicely. And there we go!

230

There's our painting!

231

There's our sparkly water sunset painting.

232

That's a fun one.

233

Wow, the light is not doing it justice here, is it?

234

It's a good stress relief thing, getting my mind off stuff that's going on out there.

235

If you want to see the full tutorial of this painting, it's on my Patreon for my $5 Patreon donors.

236

I've got a little library of full length, real time tutorials on there if you're interested.

237

That also really helps me out.

238

If you have any other suggestions for things that you'd like to see me paint or do tutorials for, leave it in the comments below.

239

If you had a hard time with this painting, let me know the parts that you had a hard time with.

240

I just want to create these tutorials in a way that is most effectively teachable.

241

so that you guys are getting the most out of it when you're painting with me.

242

That's what I want.

243

I really want these to be

244

just an accessible place for you to learn how to make something that makes you feel good.

245

And if it didn't turn out great and you are unhappy with this painting, remember that it takes a long time to get to the place that you want to.

246

You have to paint out all your bad paintings until you get to your good ones.

247

So don't get frustrated.

248

Try again.

249

That's the best advice I can give you.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
