This painting, similar to my painting The Impressionistic Pear, was done in the art style called Impressionism. I decided to do this after looking at various landscape paintings and pictures, then adding my own twist to it.
To add the feel of Impressionism, I did this with rough strokes, while at the same time, adding realism to it. But, it was a bit hard. When I first did it, I just blocked in the sky, then everything else. To make the tree look realistic, I used rough strokes of light and dark shades of brown for the bark. For the same reason, I also used light and dark green shades for the leaves. With rough strokes on light and dark blue spots, I showed light and dark shades of the sky. I used light blue on one side, and dark teal strokes to make the mountains look real. I chose the dark teal for the dark shade because it complemented the light blue very well to give the darker feel.
Finally, after it was all done, I wrote my signature to finish the painting. I plan to use this painting as a demonstration of Impressionism for my ELC project. I hope you enjoy this painting as much as I enjoyed painting it.
