Description

We all love the beauty of nature and love painting landscapes.

But what if we learned to paint in a new and exciting way instead of painting the same way always?

In this class, we will learn to paint a mountain landscape in an oval shape! No, we won't paint on an oval canvas but paint an oval landscape on our regular rectangular canvas.

You will learn various art supplies, acrylic techniques, and color theory.. and I'll be sharing with you lots of tips and tricks along the way. If you have followed my others classes, you know how much I focus on techniques, which you can use to create any other painting. And in this class also, I'll tell you about every detail of working with acrylics and creating this amazing masterpiece.

Colors I used in this class:

Titanium White
Black
Teal Blue
Prussian Blue (Phthalo blue)
Prism violet
Cadmium Yellow
Sap green
Dark green (Viridian hue)
Brown (burnt sienna)

I’ve divided this painting into 8 steps - starting with the sky and clouds, we will learn to paint snow-covered mountain peaks, then some gorgeous green trees along with some pine trees, and finally we will learn to paint a big tree coming out of the oval frame!

So I hope you are excited to dive into the class & create this painting all on your own and learn some new skills to create your own artwork.

If u want to learn these things, go ahead and enroll in my course and I'd love to see u inside the class.
