eBook: Confident & Colorful Landscapes Cheatsheet by Suzanne Allard

Sometimes the hardest part of a landscape is knowing where to begin.

Get ready for some fun painting practice and ten gorgeous landscapes! I've done the hard part of simplifying these photos into sketches and value sketches - because landscapes can be overwhelming. For each design, you get the reference photo, a line sketch of the basic shapes, and a value study showing my lights and darks decisions. These sketches will also show you how to remove and add information from a reference photo to create a more interesting, balanced composition.

Paint the same scene five different ways. Change the colors, change the mood, keep the bones. See how many looks you can create with just one sketch.

It is the fastest way to stop staring at a blank canvas and start making something beautiful.
