I’m confused, Chris. In this video you work from back to front, whereas, in other videos you advised to paint all over to keep the correct values. When should we ‘block in’ the whole painting first before details?

Chris Fornataro

Either way can work. I find myself working from the back to front more with landscapes that have a lot of depth. Since this one covers so much depth I found it easier to start with the sky and move forward. As I move forward I am always comparing the values. I should make a video on this :)

I took a photo of my block in as I was so frustrated. Some artists block in thin darks first then cover the big shapes with values / colour . I’m really confused by the beginning stages of blocking in. I’ll send you the photo so you can see how much I’ve got to learn 😬
