TUTORIAL : How to Paint Old Cocrete Window in Acrylics / JMLisondra

Welcome to a detailed, step-by-step acrylic painting tutorial! In this 1 hour and 17-minute masterclass, I will teach you how to paint an old concrete window with high-level realism. This lesson is perfect for artists who want to move beyond simple flat surfaces and master the grit, grime, and character of weathered architecture.

We will focus heavily on texture building. You will learn how to use a limited palette of grays and earthy tones to simulate aged cement, rusted metal, and the unique look of dusty, reflecting glass. This full-length session allows us to dive deep into the small details that make a painting look truly “lived-in.”

In this 77-minute deep dive, we cover:

-Architectural Sketching: How to set up the perspective of a recessed window for a 3D effect.
-Concrete Texturing: Techniques like dry-brushing and dabbing to create a rough, pitted cement surface.
-Weathering & Decay: How to paint realistic cracks, water stains, and rust streaks from the window frame.
-Aged Glass Effects: Painting the subtle reflections and dusty appearance of old window panes.
-Interior Depth: Using values to suggest a dark, mysterious space inside the building.
Get your brushes ready, and let’s master the art of urban realism together!
