You'll learn simple painting techniques that will help you to develop an impressionistic painting inspired by the famous "Starry Night" by Vincent Van Gogh. In this stylized rendition you'll learn to create a starry night winter sky, rolling snow-capped hills, a tall pine tree decorated with holiday lights and a charming holiday village. In this painting you will learn how to create a night sky with atmospheric dimension using swirling carefree paint strokes that represent the original work of art. The Christmas tree is replacing the cypress tree, the large shining star is replacing the crescent moon and there are the addition of holiday lights in the village. Let your sky twinkle in the cold air with hundreds of strokes implying the movement of wind and the bright glow of large stars. The painting will take on a Christmas holiday feel when the lights are added to the tree with vibrant colors that will glow onto each other providing a bit of whimsy throughout the design. This painting is created in an impressionistic style using loose painterly brush strokes for much of the composition and an easy drawing technique to build the small houses and church in the town below the rolling hills. You could use your imagination to customize this image to represent a different time of year, like fall or summer, or you could make the church into a different type of building, or eliminate the buildings and paint a meadow, or a lake. Perhaps you paint a sled coming down the hills or maybe kids ice skating or having a snowball fight! You'll learn how to paint this famous landscape image filled with crisp notes of the cool winter season using simple painting and drawing techniques. You'll learn how to utilize a dark background for an easy way to add dimension to the form and land. The bold vibrant colors add a festive mood to the piece, but the evening ambiance allows it to have a sense of peaceful energy allowing the viewer to drift away into the quiet nights air. With the construction of the composition you'll have fun with the simplicity of the process, but you'll also learn some valuable lessons that you can utilize in future work! This painting is sure to impress the viewer and compliment the décor of any room. Using only 3 brushes and 8 colors we'll create this conversational masterpiece with a magnificent lively seasonal energy. So let's get painting and let's get sipping!
