Join me for this step-by-step paint-along video and together, we'll capture that dramatic moment when storm clouds part to reveal golden light breaking through over autumn fields. The kind of scene that stops you in your tracks on a Norfolk country walk.
I'll show you how to work with both mediums in one painting, using acrylics for the underpainting and oils for the rich, luminous layers on top. This approach gives you the best of both worlds: quick-drying acrylics to establish your composition, then the buttery blendability of oils to create that glowing atmospheric effect.
