Video of Landscape Demo

I had a number of readers ask about the demo I did last week, so my darling wife took the time to video tape it. It’s in 5 short parts. About 45 minutes in total. It covers most of the demo, and is generally conversational. If you have some questions after asking, please post your comments.

Here is the reference photo and the quick notan I did for it-

What am I trying to indicate? That the field and the clouds are going to be elevated in value, and that my real darks are in the midground (the barn, trees, and mountains), in consort with this make-believe fence in the very near foreground. The notan is there for thinking, not just replicating.

Now we dive into the videos. By the way, check out my face in this first still frame! Hahahaha! Too much wine for me! :P

We start part way into the first wash of my recent watercolor demo. You can find out more about me, and this demo, on my website at www.seamlessexpression.com

We move into the second wash, wetting the back of the paper and painting the mountains. You can find out more about me, and this demo, on my website at www.seamlessexpression.com

Time for the trees in the mid-ground, done wet into wet. You can find out more about me, and this demo, on my website at www.seamlessexpression.com

Third round of painting. Time for the dry details and brushwork in the foreground. You can find out more about me, and this demo, on my website at www.seamlessexpression.com

Time to wrap things up. Little high chroma accents and details. You can find out more about me and my art at my blog at www.seamlessexpression.com
