Painting Mount Mansfield | Quiet Landscape Time-Lapse from Vermont Backroads

Landscape Painting Time-Lapse | From Road to Studio

This painting began on the back roads of northern Vermont, where Nicole sketched on location—paying attention to the light, the lines of the land, and the quiet details that stay with you after you leave.

Back in the studio, those sketches became the foundation for the finished painting. This time-lapse follows the process from first marks to final layers, allowing the landscape to slowly take shape on canvas.

As the painting unfolds, the inspiration reveals itself: Mount Mansfield, rising quietly in the distance. Not as a grand announcement, but as it often appears—gradually, and at the right moment.

There’s no instruction here—just the rhythm of painting set to music, and the idea that some places continue to speak long after the journey ends.
