These are some of my sketches of possible ideas. The image is from the Disney movie Tangled, a version of the Rapunzel story. In the movie she makes a lot of paintings and I liked one particularly. So, I thought I would do a painting of her painting from the movie.
I started out with a blank canvas and I drew lightly with pencil to outline where I would have the lines for the hill and where the trees will go. Then I got out my acrylic paints and mixed different colors to get the shades I wanted. I painted the night sky with a very dark blue with some dark teal. I made short strokes with a lighter blue to get a foggy cloud effect.
Then I mixed greens to make different shades for the hills, trees, and bark. I normally like mixing colors but I did not like mixing for this part of the painting. It frustrated me because I could not get the colors that I wanted, at first. I made the trees different colors and they have different patterns to kind of outline the different leaves and kinds of trees. |
This is how my painting turned out. Most of my feelings while making this paining were frustration. I was nervous to make a mistake or that it wouldn't turn out good, but it did. Making this painting reminded me of my little cousin that loves the movie Tangled. I think I will either keep this painting or give it to my cousin. I think my painting turned out pretty good. |
