Each painting tutorial builds on the one before it, starting from the most simple and moving to more complex subjects.Projects include:1. Leaf Motif - basic wet in wet and wet on dry techniques2. Seas & Skies - creating a mood with color and technique3. Headland - create distance in a landscape4. Green Pear - create the illusion of 3D form5.
