How to Add Light to Your Landscape Painting

Why take this course?
🎨 Master the Art of Light in Landscape Painting with Malcolm Dewey 🚀
Course Title: How to Add Light to Your Landscape Painting
Course Headline: A Detailed Lesson into Color and Light Effects in Landscape Painting
Introduction:
"I know the basics of painting, now please show me a painting from start to finish in detail." This was the request I received from a new student who had completed my course How to Add Power to Your Painting Instantly. I had the answer for her—and many others like her. Watch me paint a landscape in detail! She loved the lesson, and it inspired me to prepare a short course on this approach for my online students too.
Course Breakdown:
But I do have one favour to request. This course is about taking your time to understand the concept of light for artists. It's a journey into using pigment to create the illusion of light. You'll see a lot of focus on brushwork and attention to detail. This is not a quick fix; it's a comprehensive guide that unfolds over time. So if you do not like long lessons, consider breaking them up into ten-minute segments.
Prerequisite:
If you are a beginner, please start with my course Learn to Paint with Impact first. The foundation you'll gain from that course will amplify the benefits of this one.
Get Hands-On:
And of course, try out the lesson for yourself! Painting better requires honest hard work, and there it is.
