PAINTING ROSES SIMPLIFIED

There’s nothing quite like the beauty of a rose, is there? 

The subtle balance between light and shadow, the velvet-soft textures of the petals, the delicate nesting of each layer …

It’s a truly breathtaking flower.

And yet so many artists (of all different skill levels) find themselves frustrated trying to capture the true beauty of roses in their paintings.

Maybe their colors are too muddy, or the shapes are all wrong, or the values don’t quite work.

And on canvas after canvas, no matter how many times they try to make their roses look realistic…

…they just don’t.

PAINTING ROCKS AND SUNLIGHT

I recently had the opportunity to travel to Texas to record a couple of videos with Painttube TV and I'm happy to be able to offer my first professionally made instructional video on painting rocks and sunlight. This almost 3 hour video covers all aspects of approaching a rocky scene bathed in light. 

Here are a few things that I cover in the video - 

  • Color vibrancy

  • Value relationships and control

  • Edges

  • Effective color mixing

  • How simplifying the structure leads to more dimension

  • Brush application

  • The right way to start

  • The hazard of laying paint down too thick

  • How to build texture and form

  • Composition techniques that will make your work more appealing to those who view it

  • Bring in the beauty of the sunlight to your rocky scenes

  • Creating detail without actually painting detail

  • Techniques that work for painting from photos as well as when you’re painting from life. (Matt’s Tip: Do both in order to improve quickly)

  • Tools to create paintings of rocks that are full of light, texture, and color that you’ll be proud to share, show, and even sell

  • And so much more …
