Suggesting Light, Not The Detail In Your Landscape Painting

We need to suggest light, not detail. Focus on the strong value and color relationships. Interpret the photo instead of copying

Thumbs up!

[@NexusRanG]

thank you

[@connie6690]

This is a great painting. Especially having seen the photo you started with. My first rection to the photo was ehh ... not very interesting. I could never have imagined how much analysis went into the final work. I've learned so much from you explaining your process and will approach landscapes differently.

Mind blowing - as always.

[@Matlacha_Painter]

In a word; lucious! The perspective of the drawing vs the photograph is 1000 % responsible. I would have loved to see you draw it, Bob. Maybe next time?

[@philstarke.artist]

Thanks, I'll work on it

[@rosemaryclark610]

Very helpful video. Nice that, even though you work in oil, the same principles can be applied to my acrylic painting. Thanks!
