Landscape painting is something I have always wanted to do but had always thought it was too difficult to even attempt because I don’t really draw very well and I felt intimidated by the whole process. However, I stumbled upon this abstract painting tutorial by SurajFineArts and on Youtube, and my opinion completely changed because Suraj makes abstract landscape painting look so easy. The actual painting in the tutorial is done in primary colors, but I think it would be very interesting to use forest tones of moss green and brown. I couldn’t wait to start this project, so I went to Michael’s Craft Store to get my fine art supplies. You must remember to use your Michael’s coupon that can be found online by simply typing in Michael’s coupons into your browser. You will pull up the coupons of the day and the cashier will just scan your phone. They will not tell you but you can also stack coupons, so tell the cashier to scan them all. The coupons are really important when you are buying fine art supplies because they can be a bit pricy.

Materials:

• A canvas
• Gesso
• Oil paint (or acrylics in colors of your choosing)
• A fan-shaped fine art paintbrush
• A palet knife

Directions:

In this video tutorial, you will learn how to prep the canvas with Gesso and apply your first drops of paint.

Then you will be guided through this relaxing fan and pallet knife technique that creates this work of art.

This painting is so gorgeous I cannot wait to finish mine.
