PAINTING ROCKS AND SUNLIGHT

I recently had the opportunity to travel to Texas to record a couple of videos with Painttube TV and I'm happy to be able to offer my first professionally made instructional video on painting rocks and sunlight. This almost 3 hour video covers all aspects of approaching a rocky scene bathed in light. 

Here are a few things that I cover in the video - 

​

• Color vibrancy

• Value relationships and control

• Edges

• Effective color mixing

• How simplifying the structure leads to more dimension

• Brush application

• The right way to start

• The hazard of laying paint down too thick

• How to build texture and form

• Composition techniques that will make your work more appealing to those who view it

• Bring in the beauty of the sunlight to your rocky scenes

• Creating detail without actually painting detail

• Techniques that work for painting from photos as well as when you’re painting from life. (Matt’s Tip: Do both in order to improve quickly)

• Tools to create paintings of rocks that are full of light, texture, and color that you’ll be proud to share, show, and even sell

• And so much more …
