How to Paint a Stunning Lavender Country Scene, Acrylic Painting Time Lapse
Watch this time lapse to see how to paint this lavender country road landscape painting, from start to finish tutorial! This 'Lavender Shadows' landscape is acrylic paint on canvas. I enjoyed creating this colorful artwork, it has a bold cheerful folk art style!
The imagery in this painting is from my imagination, so no source material was referenced. I sold this painting a while back and also posted a very quick 3 minute time lapse of this painting a few years ago on my YouTube channel showing me in my studio creating this painting see • Inside My Art Studio, How to Create a... , but I thought I'd post this longer one so you could get a better sense of the process.
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 and any gaps between strokes will show orange instead of white. This is how I usually start all my acrylic paintings. You'll notice part way through I've turned it upside down so my hand come in from the top lol. I like turning paintings as work on them to give me a fresh perspective and to see the composition without worrying about the subject. The thing to remember when painting landscapes, is to keep in mind where the light source is, as it dictates what happens with the shadows. The shadows give a landscape scene a sense of depth and makes the objects within the composition a feeling of volume. Shadows and highlights also create contrast which adds visual interest to the piece.
