Drawing a Landscape Painting

Something you need to do when drawing a landscape painting, is get into the landscape itself. Feel yourself being taken by the landscape and just let the
pencil flow across your page.

See what you come up with, it could be highly abstract or completely realistic.

When eventually attempting to paint the sketch make sure you decide on three things:

  • The kind of paper you use
  • What type of paints you are going to use Oil, acrylic or watercolors
  • The three colors you want to use
Once you understand your drawing and the landscape, practice a few times on the mood you want to achieve.
Painting is something of an excitement!
I have spent a great deal of time sketching and it should be interesting what happens...
I'll keep you posted.
