Greetings to all my Hiver friends, In today's post I painted a forest landscape with acrylic paint. I going to demonstrate how to achieve a beautiful landscape view.

This painting tutorial will help especially those aspiring artist who wants to learn the basic technique of creating a natural landscape.

• Start painting the background by mixing blue, white, and a touch of green mid. Blend them using a flat brush.
• After the background, paint the trees in the middle ground. Just mix the grass green and a touch of black. This would be the first layer of the leaves or the shadow. For the highlights, you can use three colors such as lemon yellow, yellow ochre, and white. You used a filbert brush.
• For the foreground is commonly darker in color, creating the trunks of the trees I suggest using a round brush. Use white and a touch of blue for the highlights.
• For the path I just used burnt sienna, black and white.
• Lastly, put extra details with a liner brush. Like creating tree limbs and even grass. It will help to stand out in your painting.
