Creating a landscape in mixed media with different shades of green involves combining various artistic materials and techniques to achieve a rich, textured, and layered effect. Here's a detailed explanation of how such a landscape might be developed:
Concept and Inspiration
- Theme: The landscape could be inspired by lush, green natural environments such as forests, meadows, hills, or gardens. The goal is to capture the essence and vibrancy of these green landscapes.
- Color Palette: Different shades of green ranging from deep forest greens to light, almost yellowish greens are selected. These variations in hue can represent the diversity of vegetation and the play of light and shadow in nature.
Materials and Techniques
- Base Layer: The foundation of the artwork might start with a base layer of acrylic or watercolor paint to create the overall green background. This layer sets the tone and establishes the primary color scheme.
- Textures and Layers: Using mixed media allows for the incorporation of various materials to add texture and depth. For example:
- Oil Pastels: To add highlights and details, blending smoothly with the underlying paint.
- Colored Pencils: For fine details and intricate patterns in the foliage.
- Acrylic Gel Mediums: To build up areas with thicker textures, creating a 3D effect that mimics the uneven surfaces of a natural landscape.
- Collage Elements: Pieces of paper, fabric, or other materials can be glued to the canvas to add layers and texture, creating an interesting interplay of surfaces.
- Palette Knives and Brushes: Different tools are used to apply the paint and other materials in various ways. Palette knives can create bold, sweeping strokes or delicate, textured lines, while brushes of different sizes can be used for finer details.
Artistic Techniques
- Impasto: Applying paint thickly so that it stands out from the surface, adding physical texture and depth. This technique is particularly effective for depicting foliage and the rough textures of tree bark or grassy areas.
- Glazing: Using thin, transparent layers of paint to build up color gradually. This can create a sense of luminosity and depth, as light passes through the layers and reflects back from the surface below.
- Dry Brushing: A technique where a brush with very little paint is dragged across the canvas, creating a textured, rough appearance that can simulate the look of leaves, grass, or other natural elements.
Composition and Depth
- Foreground, Middleground, and Background: Creating a sense of depth is crucial in landscape painting. The foreground might have more detailed and darker shades of green to draw the viewer's eye, while the background could use lighter, more muted greens to suggest distance.
- Light and Shadow: Using different shades of green to depict light and shadow enhances the three-dimensionality of the scene. Highlights in lighter greens and shadows in darker greens add contrast and realism.
Final Touches
- Details and Highlights: Adding the final details such as the play of light on leaves, reflections in water, or the intricate patterns of flowers and plants using fine-tipped brushes or pens.
- Varnish or Sealant: A protective layer to preserve the mixed media elements and ensure the longevity of the artwork.
By combining these various materials, techniques, and artistic elements, the landscape comes to life with rich textures and a dynamic range of green shades, capturing the beauty and complexity of natural environments.

Presentation
I was born in Eluru, AP, India. Since childhood, I used to observe my father Sri M.S.
Murthy, while he was painting and when he finished his work, I used to clean his brushes.
Often, I used same brushes to come up with my own art. I followed my passion for art and
developed my unique style. In a career spanning more than 50 plus years as a professional artist
and have done over 3000 artwork on various subject matter such as landscapes, portraits, still
life, nudes, animals, travel, and botanicals, on different media such as oils on canvas, acrylic
on canvas, water colors on paper, etc.
I studied photography in the JNTU Government College of Fine Arts and Architecture,
Hyderabad and furthering my education by taking Color Photo Technology at the Indian
Institute of Remote Sensing, Dehradun. Upon graduation, I joined Indian Drugs and
Pharmaceuticals Limited, Rishikesh Uttaranchal, as Artist and Photographer. I have also been
serving as the President of Andhra Academy of Arts, Vijayawada for three decades for the
cause and propagation of art.
Living close to Himalayan mountains I got inspired by the splendours of nature and
Ganga river. As a result, nature is often the centerpiece of my work. My sense of the personal,
cultural and world view can be seen in my painting on Indian Tribes and Tribal Dances, Gods
such as Siva, Krishna, Ganesha, Buddha, Saints, etc. Using photography skills and my innate
innovativeness, I have extensively experimented using photo chemicals on bromide and
painting on used X-ray film after treating them. I am one of the very few in the world to do
artwork in this medium. In recent past, I have travelled around the world visiting my children.
Hence city abstracts have also become a recurrent theme.
My work has been exhibited in many prestigious galleries in India. My first exhibition
was in the Raj Bhawan, Hyderabad in the year 1968. Since then, I have exhibited my work at
Jehangir Art Gallery (Mumbai), Nehru Centre (Mumbai), Bajaj Art Gallery (Mumbai), Lalit
Kala Academy (New Delhi), India International Center (New Delhi), Triveni Art Gallery (New
Delhi), Academy of Fine Art (Kolkatta), Lalit Kala Academy (Chennai), Muse Art gallery
(Hyderabad), State Gallery of Fine Arts (Hyderabad). I have received several state and national
level awards. These exhibitions received critical applause from the press & T.V media as well
as enthusiastic response from the art lovers. My artwork is in private collections and galleries
around the world.
More recently, I have also participated and exhibited in several international juried
exhibitions both online and offline such as Studio Montclair NJ; Fusion Art, Palm Springs, CA;
Art impact International; Awesome Art Inc; Youth for Human Rights, Washington DC;
Artivita Online Art; Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery; The Contemporary Art Gallery
Online; Sacramento Fine Arts Center, Carmichael, CA ; Chico Art Center, Chico, CA, and
many others.
When I reflect upon my long association with art, I find that the creative process is just
as intriguing and rewarding as the final outcome of my projects. This desire to create has always
been strong even when others have tried to dissuade me. The internal push to create has given
me an appreciation for the process of exploration, patience and the beauty of art. I believe this
creative and explorative journey has become about freedom to create and the freedom to
express myself.
