Hello Hiver friends, How are you doing? Welcome to my art journal. Today I painted a sunset waterfall landscape with acrylic. Surely one of the most magical scenery when you see a waterfall sunset.
In this post I will demonstrate on how to paint step by step using acrylic medium.
Materials Needed:
š Watercolor Paper or sketching Paper
š Pencil and eraser
š Ruler
š Clean Water
š Rag
š Paper napkin
Acrylic Paint:
š Titanium white
š Ultramarine blue
š Mars black
š Grass green
š Lemon yellow
š Yellow ochre
š Orange
š Burnt sienna
Brushes:
š Flat Brush /small #10, 10/32 / 8.0mm
š Liner Brush #2 / 2/32" / 1.6mm
š Round Brush #8 / 5/32" / 4.0mm
š Filbert brush
note: Keep all the materials ready before you start painting.
Process:
I make basic outline or sketch of my painting. Then, I painted the background with ultramarine blue, orange and yellow, blend them together using a flat brush.
Bright sunset, basically I use white and yellow. To achieve vibrancy, I put some glowing small clouds.
The next step is to paint the distance object like trees and bushes. For this part I use black and white, mixing them together. I used round brush in creating those distance trees.
The trees that are closer should be darker. In painting the leaves of the trees I used grass green and black, basically I used filbert brush.
For the highlights of the leaves, I just mixed white, lemon yellow and some yellow ochre.
For the last step I painted the waterfall, and put some extra detail, like waterlines, water reflection and water ripples effect.
This is the finish piece of waterfall sunset.
That's all for today, I hope you like this post and thank you for stopping by! Happy Painting!š
