This scene is inspired by one of my favorite places, Sedona, Arizona in the American Southwest. It’s a magical spot with stunning red rock formations and unique desert trees and plants. I love painting it too! SEDONA TRAIL, Acrylic, 16x16” ©2025 Jim Musil 🎨 SOLD!

For a landscape with depth, it’s important for your darkest color at a given depth to get progressively darker towards the foreground. For more info visit JimMusil.com/learn

I like to work back to front when painting a landscape because I can carefully shift the value and saturation of my colors as they move forward. For more on my process visit JimMusil.com/learn

I like to get my sky done first. Skies look better with big loose strokes and I can be looser with my brush when I don’t have to worry about messing up anything else that’s already been painted. More on my process at JimMusil.com/learn

After the sketch, I apply a thin glaze of Azo Gold. This layer warms my painting and ties all the colors together. You can really use any color you want, but I like this reddish orange color the best for my landscape paintings. More on my materials at JimMusil.com/materials

I start all my paintings with a sketch using Copic Sketch markers in various shades of brown. They have a great brush tip that’s good for both big strokes and fine details. More info at JimMusil.com/learn

No I typically wait for the previous layer to dry, but it’s acrylic so it dries in minutes.
