In this video I walk you through a landscape study from start to finish. Landscapes are all about depth so I focus on creating depth with color. Always remember that things get cooler and less saturated as they move away from you. The first color to drop out is yellow, then red, then you're left with blue. This is why mountains in the distance seem to be more purplish blue.   Please comment with any questions!

Colors - Ultramarine Blue, Phthalo Blue, Crimson, Burnt Sienna, Indian Yellow, Yellow Ochre, Cadmium Lemon, and Titanium White. 

Canvas - Canvas Pad 

Medium - linseed oil

I appreciate the description of the values. That seems to be the tricky part for me. And the barn.....less detail is better....I tend to try every darn board

That is a great question! Loved the tutorial.

Oh, man. This is gonna be one of my studies, too. I've stood in that exact same spot and taken that exact same photo. The Tetons are breathtaking. Now to try it out. You rock, Chris. 👏🏽
