Watch How I Turned Blank Paper into a Beautiful Country Landscape!
Watch and learn how to paint a country road landscape with acrylic on paper! In this video I'm showing the time-lapse painting process, along with the color mixing.
My palette for this painting is...(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) This artwork was created using acrylic paint on thick watercolor paper that I've taped down so it doesn't warp as I paint. The image is around 4"x6".
I start with an orange base as it makes the colors I put on top brighter, plus and any gaps between strokes will show orange instead of white. This is how I usually start all my acrylic paintings. You'll notice I block out the large areas first and then hone in on the details. Highlights and shadow get added in the end to create contrast, interest, depth and a sense of volume to scene.
If you have any questions about my process or materials be sure to ask CONTACT! Enjoy the journey as I create this sweet little painting, and I hope you learn something new about making art and how to paint a landscape!!!
Cheers, Cathy : )
