John MacDonald: Creating Dynamic Landscapes

Excellent Demo!

Although I work with water soluble oils, I found ways to incorporate some of John's techniques into my own work. I too begin with a monochromatic value study, which as John states, not only establish the composition, but reinforces one's values. He is an excellent speaker and teacher, and goes way beyond the norm to explain every little step to a finished and atmospheric painting. This is the second video of his that I've purchased. Both are very helpful for the traditional oil painter, or someone who works in water solubles as I do.
