Acrylic Landscape Painting





First, we started with a paint set of 5 colors: red, blue, yellow, black and white. We collected three pictures from magazines and put them together to create an entire painting. Each of the pictures was background, middleground, and foreground. We then mixed the paint and started on the background. Then we added the middleground on top of the dry background. Once that was dry, we added the foreground. After this was completed, details were added. The composition was arranged from front to back with a tree on the left and some rocks in the water. I organized it thinking about how things fit well in certain spots. Atmospheric perspective was used in this project. That is when you show depth and distance as the picture goes farther and farther back. I created it by dulling the mountain colors to show that they are distant. I also added a moon in the top left corner. This was the source of light for the painting. I showed this with the brim of light around the tree.
