Red Mountains (vox pastel crayons)
Hi my friends!
Sometime I like to looking different beautiful landscapes on photo.
It's amazing Inspiring views!
I wanted to paint one of those landscapes.
I had only watercolor paper & some sets of artist's oil chalks but this fact couldn't prevent me to paint lovely picture.
Before starting to draw, I looked at a few suitable photos and chose a scape that I liked.
Making a sketch.
Then I choose for sky some shades of blue.
Upper area should be painted more saturation, that a part of the sky near the earth.
I leave some areas for clouds.
Shadows of clouds should be painted light grey color.
The forest in the background painting dark blue emerald colors.
Poor plants in front of the mountains I paint in different shades of green.
As the sunlight on a ref falls on the left, on the right I draw the shadows in dark green khaki colors & highlights in yellow green.
To draw the mountains I choose a few chalks red and yellow shades.
Sometimes I paint very deep shadows on a rocks in dark brown & black.
Top of rocks painting in red and terracotta, sunlit left side - yellow cadmium.
To create a mountain's struсture I draw some red & brown stripes
Only the foreground of the earth remains unpainted.
I choose some sand pastel colors of chalks for it.
Some where I draw red stripes, on sunlit left side too.
So, it's my picture is ready!
With Love...
I have never seen chalk like this, they seem a bit strange to me. I really liked your drawing, as you know I'm not very good at making landscapes, it's hard for me to think how to make one even though I have a lot of references.
