Painting a Landscape

Lesson Outcome

In this lesson we will work on a simple landscape painting, you will begin to use the paint in a free and impressionistic way (next month will be a realist piece) by the end of this lesson you will feel more confident in beginning to paint in a loose way. I don’t want you to worry about the end result but to enjoy the process.
