Richard Robinson | Runtime (20 min)
In this art workshop tutorial, your painting challenge will be to paint a mountain river scene, with a focus on creating glowing light. You’ll start with a lesson on how to create a strong composition using a “notan sketch” to come up with a variety of design options. You’ll then follow along as Richard paints a landscape, beginning with a review of shape, value and design, and carrying through the important stages such as color mixing, developing lights and darks, edge control, and more for a sparkling mountain river landscape painting.
