My work is a dedication to Jesus Christ Painting with Jadee…. “Fireflies Twinkling” 16″ x 20″ x 3/4″ Canvas with a black acrylic base coat. After covering a used canvas with black acrylic paint. I recycled an old painting and created something new. I used a variety of colors in Acrylic Paints. I favored the Impasto application technique to apply the paints loosely with my fingers. Progressing to the final image by layering the colors for depth and interest. A free and open stroke left the finished work with an abstract appeal and an impressionistic nature. The subject matter of fireflies and the naive use of color and lines give it a folk quality. You can purchase my original artwork via the links below. Thanks for stopping by.

How to Paint a New York City Canvas Painting using Acrylic Paints

A short guide to creating your own cityscape canvas art painting based on New York City. Add some urban decor to you living space, we’ll show you how.

Here we are going to try and recreate a piece of canvas art based on the New York City skyline. First we need to create a nice dramatic backdrop for our cityscape, this can be any colour you want however if I’m doing a sunset cityscape skyline then I’d normally use sunset orange, reds and black.

Start with neat orange from the top of the canvas working down towards the centre of the canvas in red making a notable blend and change in tones. From the horizon work from red and work towards the base of the canvas adding a little black to darken the red eventually you should get to pure black as you approach the bottom of the canvas. So in short you have a canvas that is orange blending into red blending into black. If you need to practice the blending method a few times use an old spare canvas if you have one. Once painted allow to dry completely before moving onto phase two.

Adding the Skyscrapers

Now the fun part begins. Adding skyscrapers is done by using a mix of 1 part red to 1 part black. Using an nice square 1 inch brush load the bristles and work from the top of the building by dragging downwards to the base. Load the brush again and repeat the process working from slightly different heights until you have a nice skyline of buildings in a twilight effect almost. Allow to dry before moving onto phase 3.

Adding Details & Lights

We now need to add some life to your cityscape painting. Using touches from white, red, yellow and orange add small light sources resembling windows to your buildings. Keep adding until you’re happy with the level of lighting to your buildings, you can add some small yellow touches to the base to resemble lamppost lighting and moving traffic. Allow to dry and sign.

There you have it some easy steps to creating your very own cityscape canvas art painting. Good luck.
