Composing a Landscape

Composition requires balance between the large masses and the details, unequal measures of light and shade along with subtle nuances in value and color. How do we develop an instinctive feeling for unity? In this chapter, I’ll demystify some of these principles and show you that composition is simply arranging the core elements of your paintings.

Chapter 7:

Creating Depth

This chapter illustrates how aerial perspective supplies painters with the means to create a sense of depth, mystery and enchantment in their work. Atmospheric perspective has been described as the third dimension of painting; the primary means of creating a sense of space and air in an otherwise two dimensional picture accomplished by changes in gradations and distinctness in hue.

Guided Learning: Atmospheric/Aerial Perspective

Influence on Color

Step by Step Demo: Aerial Perspective – Kananaskis Lake

 

Chapter 8:

Working with White

White reflects all the colors of the visible light spectrum! That means in order to paint convincing whites we must be able to paint the subtle color shifts and value changes. Therefore, the truth is this – convincing whites are actually quite colorful. You’ll learn to capture the essence of a winter landscape; the glistening light, cool cast shadows and the hidden contours of the ground. We’ll key our color on the large shapes and save “white” for the highlights.

How do we move beyond trying to copy everything mechanically like the camera? I outline guidelines for working with photographs that will allow you to use them most effectively. There are a lot of pitfalls to avoid when using photographs to paint from. Once we know how to edit, photographs become an excellent jumping off point for more creative paintings!
