Using a Photo Reference for Abstract Desert Art – Acrylic Painting in Journal


Hi friends! I am so excited about this video today. I used a photo reference to make some abstract/impressionist desert art with canyons, greenery, and a beautiful landscape. I used some simple acrylic paints, color mixing, and you can see the whole painting step by step in an easy to complete format. If you’d like to follow along, you can find the photo reference below and also posted in your screen. As always, thanks for watching!
