Painting a Landscape from a Photo: Friday Live - Live Oil Painting Demonstration

For today's Friday Live session, I'm going ot be making a landscape sketch from the photo above. Whilst photos can never really capture the experience of actually being outdoors and painting, what I'll be doing with this subject is basically the same approach that I've been evolving in recent plain air escapades: . Simplify it RIGHT DOWN to the main shapes . Think about the values first . Work in texture from the start . Refine the big shapes until the light goes One nice thing about working from photos, of course, is that the light isn't going to go! But I will have a home-made pizza calling my name, and I've got a jazz jam booked for this evening, so I can't hang about :) Let's see what we can get done in an hour or so. We'll be ripping along. What you'll need -------------------------- If you want to paint along, you can paint on whatever surface you like of course. I'll be working on a 10 x 8 Ampersand Gessobord panel I'll be using my current plein air palette that I went through in last week's Friday live: Lead white (Rublev #1) Titanium white Cad yellow Bright yellow lake Yellow ochre Cobalt Blue Transparent red oxide Green gold Raw umber Ivory black I'll be using the incredibly useful, brilliant and wonderful ChromaMagic app to simplify this photo down to just values and find the big shapes. -----------------------------USEFUL LINKS----------------------------- Brushes: Ive got a flower-painting brush set including the main brushes I typically use for flower paintings up on Rosemaruy's Brushes site, you can see it here: https://www.rosemaryandco.com/brush-s... The app I use to investigate the colour is called ChromaMagic. You can find it on the Apple and Google Play stores, and there is also a Windows version. It's very inexpensive and extremely useful! If you struggle at all with judging values and colours, or with mixing, this is a great tool to help you calibrate your estimates by giving you immediate feedback on how close your guesses come. You can get the Munsell value scale - which allows you to translate values from the app directly to your painting - from Paul Centore on Ebay here, also very inexpensive: https://www.ebay.com/itm/223003792036 Subscribe to my email list to get notifications of future live streams and other helpful info about painting in oils: https://www.learning-to-see.co.uk/sub...
