 Landscape Painting Models for Beginners and Enthusiasts

Dr Abe V Rotor 

The best way to learn painting is through the imagination, 

but simple models may be needed in the beginning. 

Summer in the Woods, acrylic on canvas using paint brush and pallete knife  

 

Nymphaea water lily, acrylic on canvas using stubby 

paint brush to create dubbing and smudge effect.

Birds in the Tree, acrylic on wood using green leaves impressed 

on fresh paint.  Leaves were sprayed with paint of desired shape, 

size and color, before they were laid flat and firm on board.

Convergence, on large canvas (2' x 3')  in thick acrylic applied by hand, 

brush and knife. Spluttered effect created by stubby paint brush.
