Description
Express your own vision of a landscape then bring it to life with artist Annie O’Brien Gonzales’ tips and techniques!
Don’t paint outside of the box—instead, realize there is no box to begin with! While traditional landscape paintings are usually depicted as realistic, rectangular, and simple yet elegant, this video workshop reveals that unique expression is possible and needed for an inspiring painting. You will learn how to identify what aspects of your vision you want to portray in your paints, develop your own color palette, and use underpainting skills to highlight your landscape. Annie simplifies the acrylic painting process so you can focus on you cultivating your personalized style.
This Video Features:
- Two in-depth landscape painting projects
- Tips for imaginative compositions and innovative color schemes
- 101 minutes of premier workshop instruction
The media options for your painting are endless—from acrylic paints to crayons, colored pencils to powdered pigments, have fun in your freedom of choice. Annie also gives you creative ideas for mixed-media materials that you can apply to your landscape so it takes shape of its own. Sponges, brushes, photographs, and parchment paper are all within your reach. Add layers of expression and craft, and your landscape will become luminescent. After this workshop, your take on traditional art forms will expand to incorporate your own style!
