How to Paint Acrylic April by The Art Sherpa
“Acrylic April is HERE”
March 31, 2021
This is our third year of daily painting because nothing transforms an artist more than daily painting. Now, I teach 30 days, but for you, you make the program work for you. I do not have an Acrylic April Officer who will show up at your house if you miss one.
My husband is John, aka Stunt Hands, and, yes, he will be in all the lives and he will heckle me and he will speak. That is his job; he is non negotiable. We created the two person format and we talk a lot. I use my ipad because I need assets and resources from time to time; you won’t have my passwords.
This year has a theme: A Story of Water, a New Beginning.
How do you find AA?
Facebook - did you join the Acrylic April Challenge Group; come find us, we are a cool group. Facebook is not just for chatting and making friends, at least not in the Art Sherpa World. There are resources. Look at the top, you see “About, Discussion, Announcements, Rooms, Topics, Members, Events, Media and Files”. Have you ever clicked off of “discussion” before? Announcements are my posts that have information that you will care about. There is one for every day in Acrylic April that we have done so far. The first post is a calendar of what we are doing every day. If you click the “see more”, there are links for traceables, the mini books, files, everything that you need.
- Events show all the pre-shows, just click them. Albums are each day’s resources reference grid worksheet traceable and word prompts for the month.
- Files are another important thing. The mini book is there with color mixing legend and the brushes and even a description of each individual step. There are pictures that accompany every single step in the book. You don’t even have to print it out.
- Look in the Pre-Show File for that day. TONS OF STUFF!!!
- The most important post is the sunflower picture that says “TRUST THE PROCESS, ENJOY THE JOURNEY”. You probably feel overwhelmed and do not know what to expect. Read the posts from people who have done this before.
- Make The Color Chart
The Art Sherpa website is www.theartsherpa.com .
- Traceables Tab on the front page will take you to all my traceables.
- Look in the Acrylic April Tab for all my previous challenges.
- Go to the Calendar and select April, there are this year’s paintings. Click one to go to it’s event page which has everything on it.
- If you go back to April 2019, it will take you to that program and you can go directly to the painting you want from previous years.
- Patron - Ignore more of what’s up there now. We are transitioning to a new website and right now, the Patrons are getting to preview and prepaint Acrylic April videos and see mini books and get naming rights to my tutorials. If you sign up for even the $5.00 level, you are going to get most of what you need. We will be changing the Patron Program when we go to the new website so there is just one level of Patron; much easier.
- Big Art Quest will take you to our new website if you’d like to start looking at it.
-
If you are interested in being a volunteer for The Art Sherpa, or if you have any kind of a question about our program or our products, send an email to support@theartsherpa.com and we will respond.
- LABs is our licensing and business support program where teaching artists subscribe in order to have permission to use The Art Sherpa developed intellectual property in their business (like teaching at a “paint and sip” party).
The basics broken down:
- Go to Facebook and ask to join the Acrylic April Challenge.
- Show up on April 1 at 11 am EST on YouTube to paint Acrylic April Day 1. Show up subsequent days at the same time to paint other days.
- Show up on April 1 at 4 pm EST on Facebook to attend the preshow for Acrylic April Day 2. If you don’t want to attend, visit either the website or the Facebook group to get your mini book if you want to review the tutorial in advance and be prepared.
- Post your paintings in the Acrylic April Challenge group.
- Watercolor Wednesdays will be on YouTube, on the new channel, “How To Paint Watercolor Live with The Art Sherpa”, at 1 pm EST on Wednesday during April.

For Acrylic April
I use the same brushes, canvas size and colors every year.
The color that is hard for most people to find is Naples Yellow light sometimes Called Titanate Yellow or Even Nickel Titanate Yellow
That can be frustrating for the new artist. What you may not know is outside of the voluntary ATSM there are no standards in art materials.
So on a tube of paint there are bit of info. Color info , safety info and lightfast info. Reading the tube is important but when you are new its hard.
Py53
Nickel Titanium Yellow ( PY 53 ) is opaque and has a low tinting strength. Because it's not overpowering, it can be controlled easily.
Titanate serves as a substitute for lemon yellow which is the traditional cool yellow
Some companies make a hue that is Very close they call Naples yellow light- That is what I am using in my Sennelier paint- Naples Yellow light.
This is the green Bias Yellow
You can Substitute ANY of these Cool (green) Bias Yellows , Pick one -
- Hansa Yellow light
- Cadmium Yellow Light
- Cadmium Yellow Pale Hue
- Lemon Yellow
- Bismuth Vanadate
- Yellow Azo Light
- Benzimidazolone Yellow Light
- Arcylique by Sennelier Called Naples Yellow Light
- Holbein Acrylic Called Naples Yellow
- Abstract acrylic paint by Sennelier Naples yellow light
- Amsterdam Acrylic paint made by Royal Talens
- Old Holland New Masters Classic Acrylic
- Matisse Structure Acrylic - titanate yellow
- (also called Naples Yellow light in this line of paint)
- DALER ROWNEY : CRYLA ACRYLIC PAINT- nickle titanate yellow
- Golden Heavy Body Artist Acrylics- Titanate Yellow
- Pébéo Studio Fine Acrylic Naples Yellow Hue 100 ml
- Cranfield Acrylics- Primrose Yellow is like Py53
- AV Vallejo Acrylic -Titanium Yellow IS like py53
