Share your work! For your class project, use the reference photo provided below and paint your own loose landscape! Play around with color mixing and brush marks and also try out the exercise of building dimension and form.

Once you are done take a picture of what you’ve created and share your projects with us here and upload it to the “Your Project” tab.

*** Ready to challenge yourself even more!? Follow this class up with another LOOSE LANDSCAPE (using a reference) but this time it's one level up with more details! - https://skl.sh/36UgMtg
