Beach Landscape (Patreon)

In this tutorial I paint a beach landscape where the primary focus is the sky. So much of landscapes is composition and I feel what really makes this painting work is it's composition. If you think about it the painting itself is pretty simple but the way the elements are arranged creates an interesting composition that draws the viewer in. A big part of this painting is the sky and it takes up a big part of the video. I sped up certain sections where I am just working the gradient of the sky because it can get pretty boring. Even though it is boring to watch it is important to understand. For the longest time I would totally phone in the sky because I didn't think it was that important. Man was I wrong. Especially when the sky makes up more than 2/3 the painting you better get it right. Hope you all enjoy this one! Have fun painting!
