Simplified Impression: Painting a Landscape with a Simple Process

In this YouTube tutorial, I'll demonstrate my loose painting approach, focusing on capturing the essence of a scene with just a handful of colors.

With a limited palette comprising warm and cool primaries, along with burnt sienna and yellow ochre, we'll strip away complexity and follow a simple process. This streamlined process not only makes painting more approachable but also encourages creativity and spontaneity.

Beginning with the darkest values, I'll lay the foundation of our landscape, quickly building up to the middle values and lights. Along the way, I'll share insights and techniques to help you paint with confidence and flair.

As we near completion, we'll add bold impasto strokes in the foreground, infusing our painting with texture and depth. Enjoy the demo and let me know what you think in the comments.
