Description

20' x 24' Acrylic on canvas


Phew! This painting was by far the hardest I have done so far and truth be told, still well outside my skill level at this stage. It took about 24 hours to do, as I redid the house and some other sections that I wasn't initially pleased with. Once again, thanks to acrylic painting techniques for giving me an idea how to go about painting a piece like this.

I used Impasto to create a texture for the lighthouse and also went and collected sand from my local beach, to mix into impasto to create the rocks in the foreground. That's a first for me and an interesting experience to include something else into a finished piece.


Oh and oceans?... yep they're bloody hard to paint and something I need more practice with hehe.


Hope you like it, enjoy

By far the hardest you have done, it is certainly a fantastic out put that came out of your painting The waves and the sky looks so beautiful, and it just gives me such a cozy vibe looking at it:And a big applause to you, that you have actually drawn each stone on the house/lighthouse wallsΒ Β

Thank you! That's what I'd like to get better at specifically. I'm a fan of Thomas Kinkade, who's art I feel can be described the same way

I'm so amazed at every single texture you have depicted on this one piece!!!
I feel like I'm looking at a landscape photograph with everything in focus. But it actually looks more than that because of those subtle hints of clever brushstrokes and almost fairytale-ish colour use!
That lighthouse is, as the first commenter has mentioned, very standing out, with your skillful depiction of its textural detail and nice value contrast!
Amazing!!
