This is the full tutorial for “Marshlight,” the first of twelve paintings in my online art series, The Square Foot Show. This tutorial will use a limited palette to teach you: how to paint a sunset sky using alla prima, make trees look backlit, block in your colours and values, how to paint grass, layering with oil paint, and mixing blacks. This is my first oil painting tutorial, and my channel will now feature both oil painting and acrylic painting tutorials for beginners and intermediate emerging artists. I’m a realistic artist with a focus on photorealism, though I sometimes veer into impressionism and tonalism. My landscape paintings are inspired by my home in beautiful Northern Ontario (specifically North Bay, though I sometimes paint the Muskoka region).

If this is your first time painting in oils, please don’t be discouraged or frustrated with any setbacks! Learning a new medium takes time, and it took me a few years to become comfortable working with oils instead of acrylics. Stick with it, it’s worth it!
