Capturing the Landscape
a free 3 hour Digital Landscape Painting workshop
Feel lost when you look at a landscape? I’ll show you how to break it down into simple shapes and values, then build it into a finished painting. No cuts, just my real process.
What you'll learn
Step 1
Analyze paintings and understand the why
I show three master landscape paintings and discuss what I observe, analyze, and break down in terms of composition, value, and color before doing a study.
Step 2
Notan two value study
Every successful painting starts with a two value study to analyze the light and dark patterns that serve as the blueprint for a painting.
Step 3
30 minute gesture study
I show you how to do a timed study of a master painting by Edgar Payne, simplifying the image to the main masses and clean shapes.
Step 4
Refined study
Learn how to take that study, slow down, and refine the image through expanded digital brushes and simple Photoshop techniques.
