Inspired by the Kandinskys landscapes

Directions

Directions *Select a photo of a simple landscape *Look to works of Kandinsky to become inspired for a landscape painting. -Kandinsky painted many landscapes--it style is very recognizable. We see the lines which surround the stylized shapes of the landscape and the colors that are not realistic. I start by choosing the details of some landscapes, very simple, without many details.!

Then copy the landscapes with lines and stylized shapes, draw with oil pastels black and blue.!

Color shapes with acrylic colors, with a large paintbrush, without copying any colors in the photos, but observing the light and dark areas.!Then, fill the areas with acrylic colors, without covering the oil pastel lines.

Mix colors in the style of Kandinsky.
