As a child I had had loved to Paint, the Idea of Filling up a blank sheet of paper with Bright and Beautiful colors just made my mind go mad ! but as time went by and I grew older I started to drift away from it and even gave it all up.
Years after I had completed my engineering and was looking for doing something interesting , I thought of picking up painting again. I had seen a lot of speed tutorials on youtube but they all claimed that we should start with the easy once first.
An Apple, A Vase ! but why I asked myself ?
Why should things be simple, why cant I begin with the complex. Insead of picking something that you hate, why don't you pick up something interesting, So I picked up something that Inspired and compelled me to draw - Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh. And It turned it to be OK.
Steps:
- First Start with a rough Sketch
- Fill the the part which you think is the most big and simple (Blue Sky) in this case
- Now add colors to the stars along with the Cool blue breeze
- Next pick up some complex parts - Cypress in this case
- Lastly the village and the Trees.
People say they don't know where to finish ? There are just too may small details that need more working.
But the answer is simple enough - You never Finish a Painting, you just abandon it at some point in time ! It doesn't need to be perfect, its your painting, every imperfection you left is unique. it essentially defines your style.. So Keep Painting, No Matter the result.
Colours Used - Cerulean Blue, Yellow Ocher, Bunt Sienna , Burnt Umber, Cad Red, Crimson Lake, Scarlet Lake, Cobalt Blue, Phalo Blue, Mars Black, Titanium white.
great job :)
Thanks ! :-)
