Palette Layout and Colour Mixing:

Having your colours organized on your palette can help to prevent you from randomly mixing colours all over the palette. I will show you a simple method of laying out your primary colours that you can use on a consistent basis to avoid confusion and mixing muddy colours!

I have placed a strong emphasis on Colour Mixing. I feel that having a good understanding of how to mix colours effectively will provide you with a solid foundation for painting your landscape. At the beginning of the course I will take you through a simple colour mixing exercise that will prepare and introduce you to a range of colours that you will be mixing for the featured 'Bush Walk' landscape.

Simplifying the Composition:

Before you commence the featured painting I will show you the original photo reference image that this landscape is based on. I will demonstrate how to simplify some of the elements in the picture to make the composition more interesting!

Follow my step by step demonstrations of the Colour Mixing Chart and 'Bush Walk' landscape and you will see plenty of close ups of the colour mixing from your point of view as if you were mixing the colours.

For this 'Bush Walk' landscape you will use a fan brush, palette knife and 4 Acrylic Colours. NOTE: The same principles and techniques also apply to Oils and can be used in exactly the same way!
