Channel: Jon Houglum
Date: 14/09/2015

I demonstrate how to prepare canvas, how to use the painter’s palette, how to mix colors, the tenting power of colors, the color wheel, basic drawing and painting techniques. I demonstrate how to block in the sky strata and the mountains in the background and how to blend the paints to soften the edges.  My lesson on how paint a tree is the simplest way I know to paint a tree. I demonstrate how to use lights and darks to get visual interest. Instructions are available on DVDs and USB Flash Drives on our website www.houglumfineart.com.
