Your project is to create an expressive and energetic landscape from a photo or from nature. Using either the two photos that are available in the "Resources" tab or your own simple nature photo, create an oil painting using the techniques that we covered in this course.

Materials:

Tabletop or standing easel
Oil paints, medium, solvent (for practice, any student grade oil paints would do)
Oil painting brushes in a couple of different sizes
Canvas
Photo of a simple landscape that you want to paint!
Paper towel or rags

Getting Started:

Watch the 'Gather Your Materials' video and set up your workspace with everything you need. Then, watch each video and follow along at your own pace. I'd recommend watching each video first, then practicing the skills that I introduced in that lesson.

Mark your Progress:

Understanding design intent/concept of what needs to be conveyed in the painting
Placement or rough sketch of the scene
Block in
Adding lights, darks, highlights
Adding details and redefining shapes based on your design intent
Sign your masterpiece!

Sharing Your Artwork:

I can't wait to see what you create! Feel free to upload any of the following to the "Your Project" section. Remember to enjoy every part of your creative journey. Hence in every step of your journey, you can share:

Your color palette or studio setup
If you are adventurous, show off your painting setup and progress in nature!
Your works-in-progress from any phases of the project
Your final oil painting

You can use the hashtag #expressivelandscape for sharing on social media so we can all see what you're working on! You can always reach out to me if you have any questions.

Happy Painting!
