I plan on painting the view of Mount Baldy, as seen from the San Bernardino Mountains. A lot of painters just like to grab their brushes and create the entire composition, but I prefer working with an outline. This view shows pilot rock right in front of Mount Baldy, and the tree laden mountains in the foreground. Next, I shall be painting in this outline sketch.
Outline Drawing For The Palm Tree And San Bernardino Mountains Painting.
I am creating the outline drawing for the palm tree and San Bernardino Mountains painting.
The video below illustrates how I created the palm tree outline drawing.
Making A Palm Tree Cut-Out
This palm tree cut-out was made by hand for a card that I am illustrating. First, I folded a sheet of paper in half, and then I drew half of the palm tree along the crease line of the paper. I cut out the half palm tree and ended up with a palm tree that was congruent on both sides. Not all palm trees are exactly symmetrical in nature, but I thought it would be fun to make a palm tree cut out like this for a card.
The video above illustrates what the palm tree looks like after I cut it out of the paper.
In the photograph above I glued the paper palm tree cut-out to the handmade card.
