How to paint an abstract landscape from a photograph – Flower field & mountains

In this article, I’m sharing the step by step images of how I create this abstract landscape painting of a distant mountain and a flower field in the foreground, in a loose impressionist style. 

It isn’t that simple to describe the steps while painting abstract because you go over the same place multiple times and build layers after layers, until you feel satisfied with the outcome.

So here I’ve shared my process of creating this abstract landscape painting.

When I see other impressionist artist’s work, I always feel seeing the steps will help me paint. And so if you are anything like me, you will find these steps beneficial to understand the process and re-create it yourself.

But in case you need more help, I’ve also added the complete process of my creation at the end of this blog!
