Johnnie Liliedahl: Basic Landscape Painting - Forked Path

This beautiful composition includes the most elementary landscape forms: sky, trees, hills, and ground. The process of painting is explained and demonstrated in detail, showing the resource material the painting is based on and the techniques of direct drawing, underpainting and overpainting. Critical value relationships between landscape elements are presented as the "norm" from which all exceptions deviate. The concepts are presented to augment your understanding of all landscape situations, not just the demonstration on this video. This video is particularly recommended for beginning painters who have never worked with any of Johnnie Liliedahl's lesson projects. Brushwork and terminology presented relate to all of the other subjects she paints. I came upon this fork in the road on a walk through the wooded countryside in Northeast Scotland. ~Johnnie Liliedahl
