Acrylic Painting Tutorial – 160 Minutes | 18x24 Canvas | Intermediate Level

In this stunning intermediate acrylic painting lesson from the Jerry Yarnell Inspiration of Painting PBS television series, you’ll learn how to create a dramatic mountain waterfall cascading through rugged rock formations and evergreen forests. This breathtaking landscape captures the power of flowing water, towering granite boulders, and distant snow-capped peaks beneath a soft mountain sky.

Painted step-by-step on an 18x24 canvas, Jerry demonstrates how to paint realistic cascading water, build dimensional rock structures, and create depth using atmospheric perspective. You’ll learn techniques for painting rushing waterfalls, misty highlights, and reflective water surfaces that give the scene motion and realism.

This intermediate acrylic landscape tutorial emphasizes layering color for natural stone textures, creating depth through foreground framing with trees and rocks, and painting distant mountains with softened edges to enhance scale and distance. Jerry also shows how to paint evergreen trees, mountain vegetation, and touches of seasonal color that bring balance and visual interest to the composition.
