How to Paint This Colorful Cottage Reflection Scene, Step by Step!
Watch to see how to paint this folk art inspired colorful cottage reflection landscape painting process, from start to finish time lapse ! This cottage reflections view was created with acrylic paint on a 12x16 stretched canvas. I really enjoyed creating this piece, it has a cheerful colorful style.! The imagery in this painting is from my imagination based on years of observation, (so no source material was referenced).
You'll notice that part way through, the painting seems to turn upside-down... often, when I'm painting, I'll turn the canvas around so I can see the piece in a new way. Then I turn it right side up to finish off. It seems odd I know, but the process has always works for me lol.
This painting was created using acrylic paint on stretched canvas. I start with an orange base as it makes the colors I put on top brighter, plus any gaps between strokes will show as orange instead of white. This is how I usually start all my acrylic paintings.
My palette for this piece is the same as many of my other paintings...(Cadmium Red Medium, Cadmium Orange, Red Oxide, Light Green Permanent, Brilliant Yellow Green, Dioxazine Purple, Phthalocyanine Blue, Cadmium Yellow Medium, Raw Sienna, Burnt Umber, White and Black)
Please enjoy the journey as I create this painting, and I hope you learn something new about making art, and if you have any questions about my process, materials or artwork be sure to ask CONTACT!
Cheers, Cathy : )
