Tree in a Field of Lavender Painting
This painting was inspired by the mountains and landscape of North Carolina. A simple painting created for the painting classes.
Instructions:
- Draw tree and mountains.
- The best and easier way of painting this landscape is by doing an under-paint with acrylics using: Titanium White, Cerulean Blue and Ivory Black. Paint the entire canvas with a mixture of Titanium White and Cerulean Blue. Outline tree with black.
- Now you can start the painting. It can be done with oils or acrylics. First is the mountains, second the grass, walkway and flowers. Finally, the leaves of the tree with shades of greens for light and shading.
Supply: This painting can be done in 2 medias, Oil Paintings or Acrylics:
Acrylics: You can buy them at Michael’s or Hobby Lobby. There are many brands of acrylic paintings that I have tested but the one that I like the most is SOHO, Urban Artistic Acrylic: Excellent paintings, sold at more reasonable price by Jerry’s Arterama. 3060 Wake Forest Road, Raleigh, NC 27609. (919) 876-6610. Kaleidoscope Artist’s Value is good.
