Hello friends, today let us learn to create an easy bluebell forest painting!
This is an easy spring landscape, so if you are looking for some spring painting ideas, this one will definitely serve the purpose.
The depth of the forest creates an illusion of going into the painting which makes it a good subject for painting. Once you learn to create this painting step by step, you can look up any bluebell forest photograph, and will have the courage to paint it on your own.
Having said that, let’s get into the painting.
MATERIALS YOU NEED
Acrylic Colors:
Surface:
- I painted on a 4×5 inches acrylic paper.
- Cut this Canson acrylic paper into 6 equal pieces and you’ll get the size I used.
Acrylic Brushes:
- I used a size 4 filbert brush which is perfect for this canvas size. If you are painting bigger, then switch to a size that is proportionate with your painting surface.
- Size 2 round brush.
