My first step in creating this landscape painting was I painted the outline with white paint. I used straight/curvy lines to do this and the lines met on the horizon. Next, I used the primary colours and secondary colours to fill in the sky/road/mountains/valley. Once that was complete, I used different shades of colours to create a sense of depth on the picture plane. Lastly, I touched all the sides up so the different colours for each object would not overlap each other. During this process, I learned that the colour of an object does not have to be the same colour you paint on to the landscape. For example, in real life humans picture a road to be dark grey; whereas in my painting I made the road light grey and different shades of blue. Also, we picture mountains to be dark brown and/or black, in my painting I incorporated different shades of all the colours to create a sense of depth on the picture plane. (Both are shown below) Another technique I learned was dry-brushing. It is wh...

Emily Carr (Canadian) In Emily Carr`s paintings I noticed there is flow of wavy lines, the leaves in the tree for the picture on the top and the sky for the picture on the bottom. This ties in with my landscape picture because I have to make my street wavy and from looking at these 2 paintings it shows a great example of how to incorporate that. To do this in my painting, I will have to use long brush strokes which will start from one side of the road and extend to the other, when I paint that line I will have to make it wavy. Also, I noticed in Emily Carr`s landscape painting above, the tree`s trunk is not brown and the sky is not entirely blue. This shows we do not have to paint the colours that first come to mind when we think of a specific object. For my painting many of the objects I have that are below the horizon are dark (road, mountains on each side) if I paint it the natural colour that comes to mind my landscape will be too dull, therefore, looking at Emily Carr`s colours I ...
