landscape painting supposing that05/19/2005 When I was young I had a habit of rising at the crack of dawn. I had no interest in sleeping past six in the morning, even though my parents tried everything they could to get me to stay in bed just a little longer. Finally, when they realized that my internal clock had its own agenda, they agreed that I could get up as long as I was quiet and just watched television. The only problem with this is that there’s nothing on at six in the morning on a Sunday. Until one morning I came across the show with the weird French guy who did landscape painting with oils. I'm glad you found my article. Sit back and relax and I believe you will learn a thing or two I started out watching him because it was better than watching televised church or infomercials, but eventually I grew to love the strange French man with the soothing voice and his lovely landscape painting. He would create trees by simply dabbing a brush loaded with paint against the canvas, and streams by performing a simple side swipe with his brush across the paint to smooth it out. He made it look so easy that I began thinking I could do landscape painting myself. Only my paintings would have to be in crayon, as crayons were the only art tool at my disposal as a result. I began a ritual. Every Sunday morning I would wake up at six and turn on the landscape painting show. I would sit on the couch with my crayons and drawing paper trying to replicate what I saw on the screen. I created some pretty pictures but they were nothing compared to the French man’s work. I decided I needed oil paints to make my work really come to life have you ever considered. Since at the age of seven I had no way of acquiring oil paints on my own, nor was I able to convince my parents to buy them for me, I had to get creative. And this is when I decided that the only place I could find reasonably accurate landscape painting tools would be my mom’s makeup bag. I used an old box as my pallet, and mixed all the creamy makeups I could find. I used lipsticks, creamy blushers and eyeshadows, and any time I needed to blend the colors to achieve a muted effect, I would simply add a few drops of beige foundation and that would do the trick. I used a blush brush to paint my creations onto construction paper, and an eyelash separator to achieve subtle shading effects before getting all bent out of shape. Unfortunately, my makeup-based landscape painting lasted exactly one Sunday. Once my mom had seen what I’d done to her makeup I was forbidden to paint ever again, which immediately crushed my alternate idea of using food as paint the next time. Eventually I stopped watching the French man and his beautiful landscape painting because it was too painful being restricted to simply watching, unable to create my own beautiful landscapes another example. in simpler terms.
