Painting a Forest: Simplifying the Details and Capturing the Beauty Outdoors

In this vlog, I take you on a journey as I create two plein air studies of a forest.
I document the challenges of capturing the intricate details of a forest. You'll see my process of blocking in the value masses, deciding on the focal point, and finding the darkest darks and lightest lights.
I also share my technique of taking a picture of the painting and mirror it to see it with fresh eyes.
Join me as I share my love for painting and the great outdoors!

Hi, thank you! My dog is a Border Collie x Bergamasco Shepherd mix and (probably) double merle. His name is Toutou (French for „little lab dog“…😜)
