Glossy landscape painting with poster colors

Poster colours are the best cheapest colours we can own to make very beautiful glossy paintings. I came to this conclusion so recently as I started trying to make more and more paintings with these.

These colors are very quickly drying so the speed in drawing is an essential part here if we want to get same gradient of colours. There wont be enough time to mix the colours and plan what to do next in between the painting process.

So I was very careful and fast when I tried these. And the results where awesome for me. We could use these over a various range of papers, bottles, plastic and canvas surfaces, literally almost everywhere.

Here I tried to recreate a beautiful landscape photo into a glossy painting with poster colours. Here is my painting.

For a quick view I also made a gif image.

Art making process

Step.1 - Preparing the surface

First I wanted to fix the paper on a plane board. So I used paper taps which will also help to get clean edges for painting.

Step.2 - Painting process

Unlike we follows steps in making Watercolour paintings or oil painting here I didnt have any rules but one - Do fast. So I started applying the colors very fast from the top to bottom.

I was hopping that this will help me to keep my hands clean and I could avoid smudges over the painting part which happens often by mistake.

But here while using poster colours I didn't had a problem like that as it was drying so quickly. So first I started from top to bottom but then I painted wherever I needed as I knew it wont smudge.

The painting process was went with a layer by layer technique. There wasn't any restriction of applying colours like we should use white first and then dark as in watercolourpainting. I was able to try any colour over any other colour after the first layer dried.

Step.3

This is not an another step but in this final stage I was trying to fill the gaps in the painting process. i made some detailing in the bush. Drew sone more flowers, added shadows where it needed etc.
