Do you struggle to achieve a "loose, painterly" quality to your landscape paintings? Do you find yourself overwhelmed trying to paint landscapes that seem to be dominated by detail? In this course, I will teach you my process of simplifying and massing landscapes into large, abstract blocks. I believe painting should be enjoyable and even rejuvenating, which is why it's important to be able to have a loose and relaxed approach!Â
I will be demonstrating an entire landscape painting with oil paint, but these concepts can be applied to any other medium. Don't worry about having the exact colors that I use. I intentionally use a very simple limited palette so you do not feel hindered by specialty colors.
If you'd like to paint along with me, I have included my original photo reference in the course. I recommend watching the course in full before painting along. I especially recommend watching the segment called "Process Overview" so you can get a bird's-eye-view of how the process comes together. This will make each full lesson make more sense in context.
If you have any questions, need clarification, or encounter an issue in your painting that you're unsure how to address -- post to the discussion! I am very responsive and I'm here to help!
I hope you enjoy this course!
I will be developing a series of courses that address various concepts and challenges in landscape painting -- please follow me so you don't miss new courses coming soon!
