DIAMOND PATH | STEP BY STEP PAINTING GUIDE & DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS

June 28, 2025

Step into the magical realm of acrylic painting as we guide you through the creation of an enchanting scene featuring the ancient stone remains of a castle arch. Watch as vibrant red trees and shrubbery surround the arch, casting a ruby glow that illuminates a sparkling path leading to its embrace. Let your imagination soar as you follow along with our expert artist, capturing every brushstroke as the scene comes to life on the canvas. Join us on this artistic journey at UrArtStudio.com and unlock the secrets of bringing this captivating landscape to fruition.

COLORS: black, white, magenta red, bright red, lavender, vandyke brown, burnt sienna, mid yellow

Before You Begin

  • Prep Your Canvas: Dampen your canvas with clean water using a big soft brush or a mister. This helps acrylics stay workable and makes blending easier.
  • Pre-moisten Your Palette: Use a water sprayer or lightly damp paper towel beneath your paint blobs to keep your acrylics from drying too fast.
  • Keep Tools Ready: Gather a 4” square brush, large oval brush, filbert brush, detailed square and round brushes, ultra-soft blending brush, palette knife, liner brush, and clean towels for wiping.

Essential Painting Tools

  1. 4” Square Brush – For large area coverage and blending backgrounds.
  2. Large Oval Brush – Useful for soft blending and creating smooth transitions.
  3. Filbert Brush – Great for softer edges and blending landforms and highlights.
  4. Detail Square Brush – For adding precise highlights, details, and cloudwork.
  5. Round Brush – Perfect for painting tree silhouettes and organic shapes.
  6. Ultra-Soft Blending Brush – For final blending and smoothing out brush strokes.
  7. Palette Knife – Ideal for adding sparkling effects and creating crisp edges, especially in the water.
  8. Liner Brush – Best for detailing, such as thin grass and finishing sparkles.
  9. Clean Towels or Paper Towels – For wiping brushes and removing excess moisture or paint during blending.

Be sure to also have a water container for rinsing brushes and a palette for mixing your paints. Happy Painting!

متعة كبيرة متابعة ماتقوم به ، لفرشاتك القدرة على العبث بإحداثيات الزمان والمكان واللعب على أوتار المنطقة المبهمة فينا بين الحلم والخيال فنستجيب ببراءة طفل وننتقل معك إلى سحر اللوحة وعمق اللون وجمال الصورة وننسى من كنا ومن أين أتينا،، شكراً بحجم الجمال الذي تخلقه فينا💚

Magnifique et féerique création 🥰 Parfum d’enfance … Vous véhiculez du rêve qui nous emmène dans un voyage imaginaire ! Les petites lucioles nous guident au delà de ce bel arche rougeoyant, c’est alors qu’un palais d’arbres géants s’offre à nous🌳✨ puis le chateau, ses souterrains et passages secrets sans fin … A nouveau 6/8 ans pendant 17:50 🙂 Merci et BRAVO pour cette merveilleuse parenthèse enchantée ✨👨‍🎨👏👏👏👏
