Including a Structure
The final lesson provides some insight on how to include a simple structure using perspective drawing and measuring.
Glowing Fields
Discover how to paint a landscape that vibrates with light and color. You’ll start by blocking in the basic forms with bold and direct strokes to capture the patterns of light and shadow.
Grasses, Shrubs + Flowers
In this lesson you’ll learn how to depict a variety of elements in the landscape. We’ll focus on brushwork rather than the objects, to capture the whole landscape without getting stuck on the details.
Clouds + Sky
You’ll follow my step-by-step procedure to create a dramatic sky. Light pervades the landscape, so it’s essential for us to know how to go about painting it.
Focus on Value
You’ll learn to capture the quality of light in an early morning sunrise, just before the sun crests the horizon. We’ll consider how to keep the values in correct relationship to convey this calm and peaceful scene.
