How Do You Paint Landscapes With Acrylics?
Landscape paintings done in acrylic paint get better with practice unless you are born with a natural talent to apply the paint brush to the canvas. Breaking up the steps of painting in acrylics makes learning to paint landscapes easier and more manageable. Find a photo of a landscape by looking through magazines, books or newspapers. Look for one that is simple and free of animals or people. Study the photo’s colors, and look for details that bring the picture to life. These details will become more apparent as the painting progresses. Sketch out the landscape on the canvas board. Paint will be applied over this sketch, but it gives a good idea of placement, perspective and depth. It also sections off the canvas board, which makes painting easier in a step-by-step manner. Detailing is not necessary with the sketch on the canvas board; a general outline works fine. Look at the canvas and determine where the sky is. Place a small amount of white, light blue and ultramarine blue acrylic
