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 for a short amount of time during the 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
- Camel Oil Pastels
- Tissue paper
- Camel Drawing Pencil
- Paper tape
- Masking tape
- Camlin Correction Pen
Step 1
Take the masking tape and a smooth paper for step one. Stick the tape on the paper as shown below.
Step 2
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 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 trunk and branches.
Step 6
Once you are done sketching the tree, paint the flowers using a white correction pen.
Step 7
Next, paint the stars in the form of dots using the white correction pen.
Step 8
Using the drawing pencil, draw the branches. Next, use the white crayon to paint the full moon in the blue section.
Step 9
Now, take the tape off carefully.
Step 10
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.
