About the course
In this exciting lesson, we’ll paint a spectacular sunset landscape on a large A2 sheet, exploring tonal values, depth, perspective, and beautiful lighting effects. You’ll learn how to create vibrant sunset colors and capture the atmosphere of the scene, as well as how to paint expressive silhouettes of coniferous trees with confidence and speed.
We’ll also practice a short preparatory exercise to help you work more freely and efficiently on a large format.

Each wash is shown from the first brushstroke to the last, with a full explanation of the technique, the paper’s level of wetness, and the amount of pigment on the brush.

The programme
Exercise
Firs with watercolor
8 min
Before starting the next lesson - a sunset landscape on a large-format sheet , I suggest doing a short exercise to help you paint the silhouettes of coniferous trees more easily and quickly. Working quickly will be important for this subject, as we’ll be painting on a large format.
We will learn how to convey the character of the firs with different brushes. We choose the most successful technique for using in the artwork. Different brushes are suitable for different situations, but I want to note that similar things can be done with different tools. Therefore, technique and your skills are paramount.
