Landscape Acrylic Painting

This is an acrylic painting using the technique of blocking in and glazing before the additional details are added to the subjects. In this painting, the artist uses the White Cliffs of Dover in southern England as her inspirational subject, specifically the Strait of Dover that connects the English Channel to the Calais Port in France. For the background, the artist uses arrays of sunset colors of blue violet, magenta pink, light blue, and purple to set her sky. Shades of cadmium yellow and cadmium orange are used for the glowing, evening clouds drifting gloriously in the sky and the setting sun.

The artist's focal subject of the painting is the colorful, hot air balloons cheerfully swaying and drifting away in the atmosphere amidst the sunset. The foreground of the White Cliffs and its vast expanse of wild, unruly grasses and shrubs are painted in shades of light green, yellow green, Naples yellow, and burnt umber. In this painting, the artist hints at people in the flying balloons to depict a sense of freedom they inhale while up in the air. The artist wants the viewer to feel the romance in the skies as the world below fades away into specks of dust!
