Acrylic Painting Step by Step: Create Incredible Landscapes

From notebook to canvas: artistic illustration

“Although we have come to the end of this path, I am sure that this is the beginning of something important. The acrylic painting technique requires many hours of practice, but the fundamental thing is to start painting with it and, above all, learn to enjoy it. Now share your final project with all of us by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result of your illustration and the steps that have led you to it. It would be great if you showed a picture of each step and added a brief explanation about what you have done in each one. We are going to review the phases of your project that I want you to show and explain when you share it with the community: Idea Look for inspiration and ideas as we have seen throughout the course. I took several photos to document my project that helped me a lot when it came to raising it. In Unit 4 I left you all the ones I did. My advice is that you start from a real landscape that you know personally and that brings you intense emotions, try to capture something of what makes you feel in the color, the shapes ... I documented myself in the Mediterranean landscape of the Costa Brava, specifically in a Cadaqués beach.

Color studies and sketches I did several sketches, tests and experiments before starting to paint the final version of the landscape, as we saw in the video lesson and in the U4 task. Paint your work Share here the work you did in the practice of Unit 5. Share images of your work showing how your work has evolved in the 3 phases that we saw in Unit 5. Enjoy the process! I hope you have enjoyed the experience. I have had a great time preparing all the materials for this course (even my stained clothes!) To infect you with my passion for painting. Practice as much as you can and please be patient if the first results are not what you expected. Now the road goes on, be passionate about him please. I encourage you to continue painting your paintings, to expose them and why not, also to sell them. Remember that we will meet in the forum, where I will accompany you and where I hope you will share, in addition to your project, your opinions with the rest of the colleagues. As always, I want to remind you that whatever your age and condition, please never give up your passions. Eternally grateful, it has been an enormous pleasure.

Keep your love towards nature because it is the true way of understanding art more and more (Vincent Van Gogh)

“Final Project If you reached this lesson, I hope you enjoyed yourself, I hope you had fun and learned a lot of things with the exercises we did. We started by seeing the different ways we can be inspired by nature and by analyzing the pros and cons of working in a studio or outdoors. Then, I showed you the materials used in the world of acrylic painting and I told you why I use them. We saw different types of density, mediums, brushes and supports.
