LPR: Landscape Painting 101 – Chris Fornataro
Start painting frame-worthy landscapes using my simple shortcuts collected over 15 years of painting.
Do you not even know where to start when painting a landscape? I mean you don’t even know what photo would make a good landscape? Or maybe you have you taken a photo of a landscape and thought it would make a great painting only to get back home and look at the photo and see it doesn’t come close to capturing the beauty you saw in person? I sure have.
This is the main problem that throws everyone off! Landscapes are not like portraits and still lifes where you can copy the photo and make a great painting. There is more to it than that. There is a process to capturing the scene. I want to teach you that process in this course.
