I was looking for landscape picures and found this one . I`m a big fan of Japanese culture and I love nature so this picture inspiered me. I made an acrilc painting. The brighter parts were drawn first and the black parts in the end. I`ve drawn the torii ( traditional Japanese gate ) with a fineliner. I tried to add some sunbeams but it's hard to see them, maybe I was too careful in this part. Also the waterfall is a bit to bright, I think it's not realistic that you can see the water so clearly in the darkest part of the picture. What I find also dirsturbing is that the water in the river is not structured, there is no life, no movement and there are no reflections at all. But overall I really like that picture, I like that calming effect and the harmony in it.
In this Blog I would like to show you how my artworks evolve.
