Learn how to create this dramatic oil painting of a steam engine. Follow along with this step-by-step tutorial for a dramatic and impressive result. It's easier than it looks
A steam engine's iconic looks and sounds are familiar to most of us. The landscape is depicted in dark, atmospheric tones, with the surrounding environment blurred to emphasize the steam engine's relentless advance. This painting is all about creating the mood and energy of a steam engine as it roars towards you with its lights glinting on the tracks.
Just standing on a railway platform as one of these giants waits to take us on a journey is an unforgettable experience. No wonder so many kids grew up wanting to drive a steam engine!
So lets start the process of creating our own dramatic oil painting of a steam engine together. It's actually far easier than you might expect!
