Its been a while I have made a landscape art, I get satisfaction working on unrepresentative and mixed media….. The unknown and context less piece than the above art. The oil painting on a small sized paper board is a nostalgia feeling of my beginning and first love on landscape art.
The art is one of my daily simple imaginative composition.
My first art in 2015, starting this year with a lovely textured landscape painting, inspired by the art below. The medium for the art are tissue papers, acrylic and canvas. The concept of the art is an expression of fresh colours both in grays.
A Mixed media Landscape Painting, created from tissue papers, canvas and acrylic, dimension- 62cm/42cm. This is was my last painting in 2014, which i finished on 31st of December. The Landscape Art is a New Year Gift for a friend and colleague, inspired by the below photo.
Digging from my portfolio of 2006/2007. These are landscape works in poster colour on chipboard in small sizes.
This works are part of my beginning as a painter. At that time i loved landscape painting and portraiture, and was inspired mostly by the Impressionist Movement. I still and always love painting themes on landscape and portraiture.
This was one of my favorite at that time- Roof Tops.
A Mini Colourful Landscape Painting on Chipboard exploring acrylic to paint my Imaginary Beach Scape with the African concept. Recently, I have made series of mini paintings on chipboard, due to lack of resources to create big paintings.
However, last week i was able to make some sales to raise money to buy colours and materials to create Big Sized Mixed media Paintings, but am having limited time to create some because my school where i teach creative art is on section. I cant wait for the holiday which is in August to pour out a new mind on my canvas.
Thanks for stopping by.
A New Abstract Miniature Landscape Painting with a dimension in 40cm by 20cm, with medium- Acrylic on Chipboard using my palette knife and brush to achieve an impasto technique of expression i.e a thick pigment application.
I titled this art “A Poetic Town”. This art is from an African Artist with a lot on the mind, but pouring them out on this small sized work.
Landscape painting has been one of my favorite subject in painting and drawing, i dream in sweet and colourful foliage, clouds, tress, roof tops, snake like earthy roads, electrical poles with wires that add designs and a Unique Patterns to the landscape, in addition distant figures to garnish and give the art a focal point.
This post and painting is dedicated to Zeebra Designs & Destinations. Because it refreshed my first passion and love as a painter. Which is on landscape painting. Before i forget, the above Mixed media Painting is a combination of Poster colour and acrylic on a paper board.
An African landscape in poster colour on a paper board. Inspired by foliage, earth and cloud. When painting a poster colour landscape art, my idea is to design the scape through composition, movement of brush strokes and colours.
The above Gouache/ Poster colour Painting is titled ‘Alone in the Hills‘. It was inspired from one of my photo shoot i had some time ago, around last year on my way from Benin to Enugu in Nigeria on a bus. During the trip the bus broke down, so we had to stop by the road side why the driver was working on the bus. On one side of the road there where hills cover with vegetation and i saw a house standing alone on the hill with no house around it, for me it was a beautiful sight.
After staring at the scene for a while I begin to ask myself a lot of questions like – why is this house all alone on the hills? Is there anyone living in that house? What kind of person would be living in such a lonely and bushy environment? Would this persons not be attacked by some kind of creeping animals? However i was full with a lot of questions but i kind of love the scene and it was thrilling to me.
Last week as i was screwing through the photos on my phone, than i saw the photograph. I told myself i have to paint this photo. The memory of the scene was still fresh and beautiful in my head. That is the story behind this Gouache/Poster Colour Painting.
Thanks for stopping by, i hope you find this brief article interesting?
This painting is my first gouache landscape art piece on a paper board this year, I have been so consumed and exited with experimental paintings on various mediums. I just have to carve out time to create some landscape paintings which was my first love as an artist. I have always enjoy landscape paintings especially those that expresses clouds, trees, bushes, interesting paths or roads with a snake like movement and few houses/figures to complement the composition.
The above art piece is an impressionistic documentation of a part of an African rural daily activity i.e. farming (Agriculture). It shows distant figures returning from the farm after a hard day’s work
