Hello, hello!
And welcome back to emanate artworx. Today, I'd like to share a landscape study I made recently. I had been having this image of a scenic misty mountain vista at sunrise in my head over and over again. So you know I had to re-create it. 🤓
Tbh, I'm not sure where it came from since there are no mountains where I live, but still, it was there in my mind's eye. The mist makes the whole thing look so pretty in the yellow-y sunlight. I actually made a few renditions of this image to get it how I wanted.
For the first two attempts, I worked with acrylic on canvas board. The first go was not total failure, but I definitely did not love what I was seeing. Too busy in the composition. The second time I still wasn't getting exactly what I'd envisioned, so to ease my frustration (aka save some supplies 😆), I halted the second canvas and turned to a digital version instead, which is the spotlight of this post.
It's still not 100 percent what I pictured, but to me, it's better than the acrylic versions, lol. It's progress, anyway. Also, I utilized a couple of references to help with the compositional aspects for the digi version.

I still have a lot to learn about how to best use references and incorporate them with my original ideas. That might be the most harrowing part of my art journey atm 😭🥲, but also becoming kinda fun. Trying to kill my old ways here, don't mind me.
For posterity, here are the acrylic versions, one "complete" and one halfway there. The sky in the first one has nice depth and brushwork. But. All the mountains keep looking like boobs; need more mountain studies 😵💫😅:
Thanks for reading! See you all next time : )

Ahh, thanks! Making progress : )
Oh~ I love the first canvas. Totally nice choice of colors. I really suck at trad painting HAHA! Is acrylic painting expensive?
!PIZZA
Yes, the colors are so tasty : ) thanks!
It's not too expensive to start. There are many student quality paints available, as well as brushes and canvas materials priced for beginners. Acrylic also works well on paper or cardboard, especially if it's primed first.
As much as I love digital, there's something about the feel of using the brush that can't be replaced. Thank you, as always, Jiji! 🌻
Ema! I really like your style on your painting. I saw some texture and I love it. Very nice art piece of yours. I want some more. hahahha
Thanks! The digital version felt a lot easier to make. I'm glad you like it. Yes, more to come! 🫡😆
I did a gardening drawing that looked more like a gravesite. 😁😁
Lol! 😆 sometimes things don't turn out as we intend. But it it what it is, haha : ) 🌿🪦
That last acrylic paint looks very close to the start of the digital one. The complete digital paint is fire, man. You have a very good imagination and are certainly good at bringing it to life.
I’m not good at painting, but I love them. Honestly, I haven’t tried painting itself and I don’t think I’d be good at it because I wouldn’t know where to start. I’m good at sketching though. Not a pro, but at least I know where to start there:)
Sketching is the foundation for everything, from drawing to painting to sculpture and beyond. So give yourself some credit if you can sketch : )
Thank you so much for the compliment! I really appreciate you taking the time to leave your feedback. 🪇
