Plants are gifts from nature. They give us clean and fresh air. They give us relaxation by looking at their different green tones and they also beautify places. This time, I would like to show my appreciation to the plants by painting one of my favorite plant, the cactus.
Cactus are so beautiful and adorable not until you touch them. I love looking at them because they are very aesthetic in all forms, shapes and sizes.
In this blog I painted cactus in a playful color setting using acrylic in easy steps.
MATERIALS:
Painting pad
Pencil Acrylic
paints (Purple, White, Blue, Green (dark&light), yellow, pink
Thick lining pen
PROCEDURE:
#1: I draw a sketch of the cactus plant with a pot on it.
#2: I painted the upper background by mixing purple & white to make it lighter. I applied it in dabbing strokes.
#3: For the lower background which serves as the table, I mixed blue and white to make the shade lighter again. I applied it by painting on one horizontal strokes.
#4: For the pots, I used pink and painted them on the left side only. This serves as the shadowing effect of the pots.
#5: By mixing pink & white I achieved a lighter shade of pink and I painted it on the remaining parts of the pots.
#6: I painted the plants with dark green And added a little bit of light green.
#7: After the paint was dry. I started outlining the plants to make it emphasized, formed and sharp.
Last step: I painted the thorns with yellow, and pink for the flowers.
That is how I did my painting! I hoped you like my painting! What do you do to express your appreciation of things?
PLANTS ARE FRIENDS!
XOXO,
