STILL STANDING | Mixed Media Barn Painting Tutorial

Описание: In this step-by-step painting tutorial, I show you how I created “Still Standing” — a mixed media painting of an old, weathered barn that has seen better days but refuses to fall.

In this piece, I used gesso to build texture and structure in the background and barn before finishing the painting with oil paints. I walk you through each stage of the process — from establishing the composition and blocking in shapes, to layering texture, adding depth, and finishing details.

If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to paint an old barn — especially one with character, age, and a little bit of history — this tutorial will show you exactly how I approached it.

This isn’t just about painting a building. It’s about capturing resilience, texture, and the feeling of something that’s still standing.

Materials Used

• Gesso (for background texture & structure)
• Oil paints
• Canvas
• Brushes & palette knife
