Paul demonstrates how to paint an illuminating sunset and its surrounding tranquil landscape in watercolor from an aerial view. Briefly block in a composition before tackling the enticing shadows that appear to dance across the serene vista. Then craft additional layers of masking fluid, multi-colored washes, and unusual textures to develop the underpainting. Build up to the final painting by adding realistic elements of nature, from dark shadows and calming skies to sprawling fields and lustrous foliage. With Paul’s easy approach, you can paint enchanting landscapes that invigorate your soul!

Follow Paul’s step-by-step instruction on how to block in and paint landscapes from a unique perspective! You’ll learn:

  • Detailed tips on how to incorporate alternative shadow layers
  • Techniques on how to capture the shifting colors of the sky
  • Multiple ways to add texture to your painting
  • How to paint landscape elements including trees with cool shadows and warm backlight, expansive fields, and more

I enjoyed and learned a lot from this video. When I look at my painting i have a sense of accomplishment. The repititi on in the fields and trees sometimes drove me crazy.

Thanks! Great demo, fun to watch and easy to follow. It was very nice that you even mentioned the colors that you used in your painting, however, it would have been much more helpful if you and other artists in this channel had mentioned the equivalent colors in more commonly used brands of watercolor since it would be very hard for the followers of the channel to purchase every artist's brand of paint after watching their videos. Thanks again. Can't wait to watch more of your demos

I really would've like to have seen the detail work at the end. I find that this is a common theme in a lot of painting videos...we never get to see the tidying up parts that really bring the painting to completion. Thank you for your fun and interesting approach. I look forward to seeing more!

What a great idea to use a drone to capture new perspectives with landscape painting. I am not a water=colorist but can say watching him smear water and color onto paper inspires me to give watercolor a try!
