0907 Teton Pathway (Acrylic) - From the Jerry Yarnell School of Fine Art PBS television series, Jerry guides intermediate artists through a beautiful acrylic painting lesson featuring a winding mountain pathway leading toward the magnificent Teton Mountains. This intermediate-level lesson is approximately 90 minutes and is painted on a distinctive 15 x 30 canvas. The finished painting features towering, rugged mountain peaks illuminated by soft sunlight, a narrow dirt path winding through a lush green meadow, tall evergreen trees, scattered boulders, and colorful orange and yellow wildflowers. The dramatic mountains rise above the peaceful wilderness landscape, creating a beautiful combination of rugged scenery, natural color, and realistic depth.

Today's Frequently Asked Question:

Question: My brushes are so hard; I am having a difficult time using them. I have washed them several times, but the large one separates in the center. Is there any way to save my brushes?

Answer: It is too late to save these brushes to the point of making them soft again. The reason for any brush to separate is because there is dried paint embedded deep down near the metal ferrule. It is critical that you clean your brushes very well immediately after each painting session with soap and water.
