This week’s video is about a fall landscape !
I’ve chosen to simplify quite a lot my reference picture (above) in order to keep what’s important for me : the mood. The main elements are still there, the trees, the horizon line, the sky. But i voluntarily leave out some details like the pond and the pathway on the right. It’s mostly to make the work a little bit easier for me as painting a landscape is hard for me but it’s also to make the picture a little bit less busy so that the spectator can get a feel for it right away. As always i’m going for feelings, moods first and realisme second.
