Hello my friends and welcome to another Tuesday of tutorial!
I am Leonardo Pereznieto and today we will paint this beautiful view
with oil paints.
I want to thank our sponsor for this video: ¨Apealz¨
Previously I had shaded my canvas with a light blue,
and now we can roughly sketch the hills.
For this, I'm using burnt Sienna which is a reddish-brown
and a long brush.
I sometimes like sketching with long brushes
because one can stand farther away and so see the whole picture better.
Of course they are not very good for detail.
The hill in the center will be very far away and then the other ones, closer and closer
and down here the foreground,
I think that can give a nice effect.
And right here on this strategic spot
a woman admiring the landscape.
Notice that she is about at 1/3 of the painting and that some hill lines, point to her,
that for composition purposes.
Now let's begin adding the color, painting the sky.
It will be practically all blue, but lighter on the lower part.
As the paint is wet, we can mix it in on the canvas.
Now the hill that is further away, it looks pretty blueish as well, because of the atmospheric perspective.
And as we paint the hills that are closer and closer to us,
we can add more green and brown,
as needed.
Also, generally speaking, the farther away will be lighter and sort of washed out,
and the closer the objects they will be sharper, more contrasting, and more intense in color.
Ok, good!
Now allow me to introduce you to Apealz
our sponsor and we have some good news for you, as well.
Apealz is a very cool and artist friendly company,
in which you can create your own labels
and they will produce them and ship them to you.
Let's try it! let's select an imagen among the hundreds of beautiful ones they have...
Like this one for example which is mine, because they chose me as an Apealz master creator.
We select the device we want it for
and then I´ll customize it.
Because of the format I just want one person on it,
so let's move it over here
and wait, I´ll expand it a little bit
so that it looks better.
Cool, this is exciting!
Now we go to ¨next¨ and we can write some text.
Like ¨by Leonardo¨ why not? we make it red and add it.
Here we can modify it and move it.
Cool! I love it! let's add it to my cart.
And I will be able to stick it, remove it and reuse it.
I selected this one among the existing labels
but as I mentioned, you can create your own.
Let's try that, this time I am uploading one from my computer
for the back of an iPad
you see, I think this can be a great promotional tool!
because everyone around would see your art every time you pull out your phone,
or you could have it on the bumper of your car, etc.
If you use my link below, you will get a discount on your order.
And by the way, if you join as a ¨Master Creator¨
you will get a commission, every time somebody buys your art.
Check it out with the link below.
And the good news is that Apealz, will sponsor our Inktober challenge!
with monetary and other nice prices.
Stay tuned for a video that I will publish on the 1st. of October at 10 a.m. U.S. Central Time, with all the details.
In the meantime, get your ink ready [laughter].
The landscape has been changing a lot,
as the light changes
but we should capture a specific moment and go with that.
If a different lighting reveals some hidden secret,
we can add that.
And I am back in my studio, by the way.
On all these hills that are at the distance
I painted no detail, but on this closer one, we will do some plants,
some vegetation,
some will be darker and some lighter
and I also added some leaves illuminated in the air
to give it a touch of magic,
but I think the woman is too small, I don't like how the color of the dress looks
and also she is a bit stiff,
so let's make her taller, with a nice white dress,
and with her arms extended.
And if you made it, all the way to this point I will love to know it!
Please in the comments write me the secret code:
¨A touch of magic¨
[Laughter].
And it´s ready!
