Whatever you decide, choose the appropriate paints for your medium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Get a filbert brush<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leave all of your brushes at home except for a single filbert brush. As you progress in landscapes, add and experiment with other brushes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bring water and rags<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bring lots of water and rags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 4<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Set up your easel<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the middle of the day, go set up your easel In a comfortable location that has a good view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The light changes the least over a given number of hours in the middle of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sketch your drawing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using the pencil, sketch your painting on your sketch pad. Make only very rough shapes \u2014 triangles, arcs, blobs \u2014to give it a general look and feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Painting is less about the medium (paint, pastel, pencil) and more about how you create the image. Drawings use lines. Paintings use shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 6<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Work out values<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you&#8217;re happy with the composition, it&#8217;s time to work out the values, or lightness and darkness. On a scale of 1 to 10, choose a key object with a middle value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 7<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Eye the composition<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eye your composition, or structure. What&#8217;s lighter than the object you chose? What&#8217;s darker? What&#8217;s in between and by how much?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 8<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Choose values for all other objects<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using that value as your key, begin choosing values for all of the other objects in your composition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 9<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Color your key object<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;re done, turn to the canvas and select a color for the key object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will probably need to mix paints to get the value you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 10<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Paint the rough key object<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paint the rough shape of your key object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wash your brush thoroughly between colors in your jar of water. Dry on a rag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 11<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Paint another object<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose an object touching your key object. Choose a color and assign it a middle value. Paint its rough shape. Stick to the middle values, avoiding highlights and shadows at this stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 12<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keep painting<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep working around your composition until you&#8217;ve blocked off the whole piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 13<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Appraise composition<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step back and look at your composition. Does it feel right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 14<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Assign and develop contrast<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now go back in to your piece and begin assigning and painting colors with more accurate values for ever-smaller shapes around the piece. Your contrast will begin to develop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start with lighter values, then move toward darker values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 15<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Add shadows<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Add in your shadows in. Generally, you&#8217;ll want a cooler color. Avoid pure black.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 16<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Add highlights<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, add the highlights. These will be something in the family of the color of your light source, but avoid pure white.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 17<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sign and date the painting<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you&#8217;re satisfied with your painting, sign the front, and, when it&#8217;s dry, use a marker on the back to identify the title, place, and date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Materials An easel A canvas Paints A filbert brush Water A jar Rags A palette A pencil And a sketchpad Steps Step 1 Choose your paint Choose if you want to work in oil, acrylic or watercolor.
