Landscape No. 4

I haven't really painted many night time scenes before, so for Landscape no 4/100 I decided to paint a starry sky. It was definitely a challenge, but I loved the colors so at some point I will try another one again.

I realized I hadn't included in my previous posts what medium and materials I have been using for these. So far, all of my landscapes have been painted using acrylics on panel.

Landscape No. 3

For this landscape painting I chose a scene that allowed me to focus more on color than shapes. I love painting water- but it's one of those things that I could work on forever and still find something else to add. Even though I tend to be very critical of my paintings, I am trying to keep the larger picture in mind: after painting a hundred landscapes, the way I paint everything will evolve. The way I paint water will change too, and I'm kind of excited to see where I will be at the end of all of this.

That's it for now... on to the next one!

Landscape No. 2

Here is landscape No. 2 of my 100 landscapes project. I wasn't very motivated to paint this week- I kept coming back to this one for short amounts of time. One thing I learned from this painting: painting sand is difficult! Somehow I find it easier to paint water than sand. I kept going over and over it until finally I just decided to stop. I could probably keep going on it endlessly, but I should probably move on to my next painting.

This landscape makes me wish I was at the coast this week. It's sure been hot here. Maybe that's why I haven't been super motivated.

On to the next one! ...
