Sakura flowers blushing about in the cold wind of the night, with the backdrop of a full moon is as ‘anime’ as you can get, when it comes to painting! Sakura or cherry blossoms symbolize life, death and rebirth because they bloom only during a short amount of time during a year.
Here is a DIY cherry blossom painting idea from the world of anime that you can make by painting with oil pastels.
What you will need:
Smooth paper
Camlin Oil Pastels
Tissue paper
Camlin Pencil
Graphite Pencil
Paper tape
Masking tape
Camlin correction pen
White glass marking pencil
Step 1:
Take the masking tape and a smooth paper for the step one.
Step2:
Stick the tape on the paper as shown below.
Stick three thin tapes across the paper as shown in the picture below.
Step 3:
Next you will be painting the background of the painting within each of the four sections using a pair of two crayons each. Start using two shades of green, followed by blue, pink and yellow.
Step 4:
Using a fresh tissue paper for each section, blend the two colours in each of the four sections.
Step 5:
Using a graphite pencil sketch the tree.
Step 6:
Once you are done with sketching the tree, paint the flowers using a white correction pen.
Step 7:
Next paint the stars through dots using the white correction pen.
Step 8:
Using the graphite pencil, draw the branches. Next, use the white crayon, paint the full moon in the blue section.
Step 9:
Now, take the tape off carefully.
Step 12:
Using a scale and a pencil, outline the alternate edge of every section and sketch some shadows around the edges.
Once you are done adding the shadow effect, your painting is ready.
