HOW TO PAINT A LANDSCAPE ON CANVAS

Image
      We are here to take you away from the hustle and bustle of the city, down the calm countryside, to cheer you with some sunshine and sunflowers.  Sunflowers are not just bright and beautiful flowers. They teach us all a life lesson. No matter how dark the day is, to stand tall and seek the light.                         The 13.5 OZ  canvas panels  from Menorah are perfect to create your scenic landscapes. The  canvas board  is made of premium grade cotton that can take the paint very well and will not deteriorate easily. A primed canvas adds beauty to your art, as it gives a smooth surface for painting and makes the colours stand out.  Menorah canvases  are triple primed, so you can start painting as soon as you unwrap your canvas. They have  small canvas board  whose size ranges from 3 x 3 inch to 10 x 12 inch and  big canvas board    whose sizes ranges from 12 x 12 inch to 12 x 16 inch. Here is how you can recreate the sunflower field painted by @sanmy.art BLUE SKY   :
