Foggy Morning Landscape
Vinita Pappas brings you a stunning video tutorial on painting a landscape with a foggy effect. In this video, you will learn how to create a soft and dreamy landscape, with a special emphasis on subtlety and nuance. In this video, you will learn how to create a misty and ethereal atmosphere in your paintings. The artist starts by drawing a simple sketch. Vinita mixes a mid-tone gray color and begins painting around the details of the scene. The focus in a foggy scene is on light mid-tones, with close values and muted colors. The artist is careful to maintain a subtle and subdued mood, blending the colors and keeping the whites to a minimum. You will see how the paint moves and blends differently when working on wet paper, and how to add extra pigment for depth and dimension. This is a must-watch for anyone who wants to practice their moody landscapes and master blending and granulating.
