Discover The Magic Of Painting With Radiant Light: Beginner-Friendly Soft Pastel Tutorial

oin me in this immersive pastel painting tutorial where we'll explore the captivating technique of creating radiant light with a golden glow that truly transforms a scene.

What You'll Learn:

Importance of a Value Study: We'll start with a basic black and white sketch to establish a solid foundation for understanding and applying values, which are crucial for achieving dramatic light effects in your artwork. This is a great technique for beginners who may have a hard time distinguishing values from a color image. The simple trick is to convert your reference image to black and white which reveals values more clearly.

Developing a glowing underpainting: I will teach you how to set the stage for the warm, luminous light that will envelop our landscape. This underpainting technique is a game changer for enhancing the vibrancy and depth of your scenes.

Personal tips and secrets to create the illusion of light: Learn how to make your landscapes not just shine but truly illuminate, bringing your artwork to life with a warm, golden glow.
