Creating a Distinctive Landscape Painting Demo for the Historic Site

This lesson will guide you through an art journey along the wall of the Forbidden City. Black and red will be two major colours to carry out this project and bring the audiences into the virtual time and place as if we were walking along the old historic site in a wind blowing day.

A unique wet-on-wet technique on rice paper produced a distinctive architecture  background which creates an effective perspective depth between objects. Imagination and feeling of the story is one of the key to lead the creative process.

Topics & techniques covered in this forty-three minutes project:
✓Composing a perspective structure for the wall;
✓Bold ink technique for trees and distinctive texture for wall;
✓Creating a misty look for palace behind the wall;
✓Producing a wind blowing mood for the historic site;
✓Highlighting and harmonizing, etc.
