LANDSCAPE OIL PAINTINGS: MOUNTAINS AND FORESTS AND OCEANS, OH MY!

via Skillshare

Overview

If you are anything like myself, you really have to be in a specific mood to truly dive into certain landscapes with all of your heart and soul.  So for this exciting new tutorial, I have decided to really spice things up by walking you through not one, not two, but THREE different landscape paintings! From forests to oceans to mountains, this class has something that will speak to absolutely everyone - and it is for all skill levels! 

I had such a great time creating these 3 small landscape classes for all to enjoy.  I will walk you through how to  create a beautiful and vibrant forest scene, a cool and crisp mountainscape with wispy clouds, and a windy oceanscape with a soft sky and beautiful shoreline.  I also provide a full class on how to stretch your own canvases!  This tutorial is packed full of awesome, and I can’t wait to see everyone’s final products!

You can find the reference photos for all three paintings here or in the class project section!  Feel free to email me at [email protected] if you can't seem to locate them!
