Overview
  • This class will be all about how to paint different landscape elements.

    I will show you the colors you will need for each element and the brushes  I like to use for landscape paintings.

    The sky is the key element, as it sets the whole tone and atmosphere for the picture. I decided to show you four different skies and moods: A cloudless summer sky, a cloudy sky, a cloudy and rainy sky which is more dramatic and a stormy, rough and cold, dramatic sky.

    Then we will talk about how to paint evergreens in different distances: masses in the background, masses in the middle ground and individual specimen in the foreground.

    We will take a look on how to paint deciduous trees with summer and autumn foliage and I will show you how to paint them in winter and how to choose the colors for the different seasons. I will show you how to paint tree masses and how I paint hedgerows and grasses.
