via Skillshare

Overview

Save Big on Coursera Plus. 7,000+ courses at $160 off. Limited Time Only!

Welcome! In this class I’m going to share with you some useful tips and tricks i use everyday in my works. You can practice them and improve all your landscapes. 
I tried to keep the video lessons very short but rich of informations and examples.
You’re gonna see both photo references and real paintings so you can learn the theory and in the meantime see it in action to fix it into your memory.

At the end of the class, to round things up, i will guide you to complete a painting where you can apply all the things you just learnt.

In the resources section you will find a useful image that you can download and print. It’s a nice graphic to summarize the lesson so you can always keep it with you and give it a look before starting a new painting.

Let's get started!
