One way to paint a landscape is to look at your reference, draw everything meticulously and then fill in the color. Another way is seeing the elements as shapes and colors only and render them as such. It is a fun way to simplify.

And it's amazing just how few elements we actually need in order for the painting to 'read' as a landscape.

Are you a Landscape painter who wants to paint looser? Do you end up struggling and adding too much detail?
In this video I want to show you how to loosen up by suggesting forms and shapes without rendering them rigidly. This is also a great way to let go of perfection - let me show you…

This step is essentially your first step to learn how to paint more abstract and more expressively. The concept can be used with any paining medium from acrylic paint, oil, watercolor, gouache and also pastels, colored pencils and oil sticks. You don't need any special equipment other than something to paint on which could just be a cheap sketchbook or some recycled paper. The aim is to learn to see shapes and colors.

Let's make this exercise the first step on your painting journey to painting looser and giving your paintings a modern edge. Simplicity beats detail.
