Landscapes!
With landscapes, typical problems include:
- architecture (linear perspective)
- figure
- animals
It's a balance between Intimate v. Environment
We're always trying to create an illusion of depth.
- size relationships (repeating elements, like fence posts)
- overlapping forms (separation of FG and BG)
- linear perspective
- atmospheric perspective (always amplify, even when it's not really there…. like a thin veil)
Cool recess, Warm comes forward (not blue and red, but rather Relative Temperature)
"Capture what's there…. but better!"
Assume you're doing it right…. do better on the next one!
Always work on Efficiency! Make the brush do more, with less strokes.
Studies I did this week in a workshop.
