How To Paint A Landscape Scene

About this tutorial

Difficulty: Beginner
Panel Size: 13 x 13

This is a scene that reminds me of my early years as a professional artist and it’s very typical of the type of subject matter that I was looking for at that time. It’s an uncomplicated scene in both colour and technique, but there’s enough in it to be an attractive smaller painting.

Although this subject matter is far from simple, this lesson will give students at the beginner and intermediate levels, the challenge of creating a landscape painting without the need for learning complicated techniques. The general colouring throughout is very even, which gives an overall softness to the landscape, so colour mixing is more than achievable for the majority of less experienced artists.
