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.

  • Painting tips to capture atmospheric perspective
  • Oil painting techniques for transparent & opaque layers of paint

Richard Robinson's paintings take your breath away and to catch a glimpse into his magic in how he creates those paintings is really quite a treat! I don't know how much I learned the first time around because I found myself just memorized in how he transformed his painting and so I had to watch again and learned a lot ! I will be watching this one several times and have been taking notes as well in the small ways he creates light and the colors he uses to do so. Really a fantastic video!
