Self Paced

A major problem for artists is how to simplify a scene for a landscape painting. Nature is chaotic and you cannot include everything you see into a painting. So how do you select what is important? Then how do you simplify that object so that you do not get stuck on little details?
The answer is the notan sketch. A powerful technique that takes only minutes to complete.
1. The notan sketch will teach you how to find the powerful elements of a scene.
2. Decide what to leave in and what to leave out
3. Establish the primary lights and dark shapes
4. Make starting your painting much easier.
