Let’s Get Started with How To Create Collage Landscape Painting

In the video I cover ideas and techniques for creating homemade collage paper. There isn’t any right or wrong here, but I figured some of you may have a few questions about how I do it, so hopefully this answers any questions you may have.

The overall design concept

At the heart of every painting shared on this site is the guiding principle of design and composition. A well-thought-out design is paramount, as it serves as the foundation for the entire artwork.

In this particular piece, the horizon line is purposefully positioned towards the bottom at the third mark, avoiding the common mistake of placing it in the center. The sailboats are arranged in an inverted ‘V’ shape, with the largest sail on the left, a smaller one in the middle, and a medium-sized sail at the end. This intentional arrangement adds visual interest and avoids monotony. Additionally, two sails in the middle are joined, further enhancing the variation within the composition.

Regarding the color scheme, a predominantly cool palette sets the tone, with occasional warm accent hues that create delightful pops of color. Furthermore, the reflections of the sails serve as a compelling element that draws the viewers’ attention into the artwork.

Feel free to exercise your design skills by experimenting with different arrangements or even exploring alternative landscapes of your choosing. Remember, the overall design concept plays a crucial role in the success of your painting, so don’t hesitate to explore and challenge yourself creatively.
