Make A Wish

As my first offering, I am sharing my painting of a Thomas Kincaid original. Kincaid is well known as the “painter of light.” I specifically decided to copy some of his work to learn more about landscapes and the way he uses light to make the painting “pop.” These types of paintings require a great deal of time invested since you paint from the back, forward, meaning you have to let the paint dry completely before continuing. This one took all of three months to complete, but the feeling of accomplishment for me was quite strong.

I chose this painting because of the pathway. It’s clear that it had just rained in this scene based on the clearing skies and I wanted to try and replicate this “wet path look,” though I didn’t initially know how he accomplished this. This is one of my favorite examples of stuff I’ve done.
