Using a thick wash of Payne’s Gray, each tree will be painted with a thin line for the tree trunk, and quick line motions to add the pine needles. Please, use the picture below as a guide. We are going to add trees on the far right side of the cabin, right next to the left side of the cabin, and a couple in front of the horizon line. This small detail change will help these trees to be more in focus. The trees we are going to add are going to be similar to what we did before along the horizon line, but instead of painting wet on wet, we are going to paint wet on dry. Step 4:įor this step, we are going to add a couple more trees to continue to add depth to our painting. To paint the tree, (use a milky mixture of Payne’s Gray) start with a thin line for the base of the tree and begin adding in zig-zag lines starting small at the top and becoming wider as you reach the bottom of the trunk. Adding in the trees while the sky is wet, will help them blend into the background and create depth. While the sky is still wet, begin painting in the trees along the horizon line. Then begin painting in the sky diagonally using the navy blue paint mixture on the left side, and then transition into the blue-green paint mixture halfway across the sky. Now grab your round brush and apply a layer of clean water all over the sky area, avoiding the cabin. Start with having your navy blue mixture and blue-green paint mixture ready in your pallet. Once your cabin is dry we can paint in our evening sky and forest! This little step will make this painting come to life. And finally, add a small square on the top of the roof for a chimney. Then on the front of the house draw a small square for the front door and an even smaller square to the top left area next to the door ( this will be the cabin’s outdoor light). On the sidewall use your pencil to frame out a small window. To make it look more like a log cabin add circles down either side of the front of the log cabin, then connect the circles with a line across. Then create a triangle on the right side of the roof, then add a line coming down to create the side of the log cabin. Then bring down either side of the roof to where the roof is coming out a little farther than the base rectangle. Then draw a line that is slightly smaller than the rectangle right above it. Using your pencil create a thin rectangle to start. Over on the righthand side, I am going to draw in my log cabin. Grab your pencil and let’s get to it.įirst, draw a line across the page about a third of the way up from the bottom, to make up our horizon line. The first thing we need to do to start this painting is to draw out our landscape and log cabin. I highly recommend this product to you if you are looking for a beginner set of paints.
