My New Acrylic Painting - 'The Way to Portmeirion'
I'm not any good at painting cars but I had to try as I went once in my old Viva that I called 'Sheridan Peter'. Going through the Brecon Beacons on the A470 was absolute scary fun. I had to paint Sheridan Peter crawling slowly up the mountain!
Here are some process shots:
- First I roughed out my design in my sketchbook.
- I did a sketch on acrylic canvass paper with the main guidelines.
- I prepared my canvass with sky, cloud and earth colours. I painted guides in pink.
- I started blocking in colour with the hills and road.
- I finished blocking in colour for the rest of the hills.
- I painted the tree-covered hills in the background.
- I added detail and appropriate colours to the other hills.
- Finally, I added the car, tree and finished the road.
I'm pleased it's finished!
What a beautiful scene you have created, a great depiction of North Wales!
Love the process shots!
Thank you so much for your kind comments! You made my day by saying those nice things :)
one step by step, well said
Thank you for viewing and your comment :)
Wow... this is a gorgeous painting @deemarshall, I’d love to travel up those mountains with you. How beautiful that drive must have been. Theirs actually know mountains in all the state of Iowa, only bluffs. I really miss them, I grew up in my earlier years surrounded by mountains. I went to your blog to check out Steemit Art Centre, and I seen this picture at at the top of your list, wow 😮I thought it was a photograph. Love your shadowing, and the tree is outstanding! Makes me want to get out my acrylics and start painting❣️
You are so kind with your lovely comment. I feel so happy to read it :)
