    In the coastal scene, the nearby town was the focus of the painting. The town was close and you could clearly see individual structures. Interpreting and simplifying the town was the main challenge of the painting. The strategy used here was to group the vertical planes together in shadow, and all of the top planes together in the sunlight.

    Landscape painting in a studio compared to painting on-location are completely different experiences, each with their own set of challenges to face. Painting landscapes on-location means you’re faced with constantly changing natural lighting, as well as nature, but the experience itself can really make your inspiration flow.

    In this painting course, Artist Ben Fenske teaches you the fundamentals of landscape painting through a series of lessons. These lessons include easy to follow instruction, analysis of famous landscape paintings, and demonstrations shot on-location, to help you better your painting skills.

    Hello,This is more of a comment on the video lesson.

    I honestly did not appreciate the fact of painting over another painting. Even though the artist explained why he made that choice, i find it hard and frustrating for me, the viewer , to see and understand well the starting lines of the composition.

    After all, it is a course , made for students to learn and understand, so that must be the main goal .

    Thank you for your comment, Nour. I am sorry to hear this lesson was frustrating and didn’t resonate for you.

    Nour,

    It was done intentionally to show how to paint over a previous painting. This is an important skill especially if you have a limited budget for materials or you’re on a painting trip and you don’t have the ability to get more canvas. It can be disorienting and frustrating but first but it’s by design. So yes, we do feel it’s important for students to learn and understand how to do this.
