Glowing Mountains


Acrylic on Canvas

The idea that guided me through this artwork was to create mountains with a sunset behind to use the different colors needed. I also added the extra clouds and a bird for more color that was needed and added more to the picture. 

The materials used for this artwork were just acrylic on canvas paper. I used acrylic to obtain smooth layers across the canvas. 

During the process of this artwork I chose to do mountains because of the idea of the dark to light at the top, even though its not usual mountain colors, the look of it still stayed. The sunset along with the clouds and birds add background and brighter colors behind the darker bottom of mountains. I chose this to show depth and color gradients.
