blog entry #3- Acrylic Landscape Painting


For my painting I started by planning out what colors I was going to use and planning out the format. I used a couple pictures to plan out what it would look like on the actual thing. I first made the sky and planned to have a palm tree on shore but close up in the picture. The sun is setting so the water must be dark because it is beginning to be night time so the sun would pop out. I made the sky be the main part of the painting and in each quad section of the painting has a main part. It is suppose to be a sunset scene over the ocean. I blended the water and the sky a lot so they wouldn't look choppy, but togetherness. The sun is creating the light source and reflects over the water and to the shore. The sun reflects off the water and the sky to make it dynamic. My color scheme was complementary with range and blue. For the sky I used long horizontal brush strokes. the water I was using the same thing that i used for the sky, but I added wavy strokes to create the effect of waves. The tree had short choppy brush strokes that created the effect of a palm tree. Iblended the colors with thwater in sky and made it lighter or darker depending on the reflection or clouds.
