Accelerate your Skills with Thumbnails
Do you ever get nervous or frustrated hauling large canvases to various plein air locations? This tip is for you: small studies are perfect for plein air! Ellie takes a step back in this tutorial, focusing on tiny, thumbnail canvases with a specific purpose: capturing light and color for later studio work. In this four-piece series, you will paint mountains, spruce trees, aspens, and an monumental rocky ledge. As perfect exercises for developing your sketching techniques, it's important to remember to stick to the illusions of shapes, value, edges, and colors, instead of high detail. Then, when you get on site of your next plein air trip, you'll be ready to take more notes and sketch compositional ideas instead of create your masterpiece then and there. (2 + hours)
