Painting A More Intimate, Close Up Landscape Painting

In changing my approach, I want to start at the focal point, not work background to foreground, and finish the focal point first, then as I work out from there, the brush work becomes bigger and more simple.

Thank you for sharing your thought process regarding artistic license. I can get so stuck on the photo as it appears. Each of your videos remind me the painting is it's own thing, not just a copy of a pic. I've never given myself the permission to change things much and my paintings have suffered. Thank you for a new direction.🤗

Another excellent lecture on closeup landscape paintings. It is just in time since I am working on a painting with closeup trees by the lake. Thanks Phil.

This is my style of painting. I started out with graphite, charcoal, and colored pencils and I loved the up close details that I was able to do. But I wanted to try painting. I love looking at wider screen landscapes but I prefer to paint more zoomed in with a subject that is much more prominent. This is the first video that I have found on this subject. I was starting to think that what I wanted to do was unpopular and undesirable.
