The Language of Landscape in Watercolor with Dale Laitinen

Learn More: http://ccpvideos.com/sku/DL1d Learn to paint landscapes that make a statement. In this DVD workshop, you follow watercolor expert Dale Laitinen on a quest to capture a sense of the monumental. You use bold color to create drama as you paint the great granite cliffs of Yosemite.

Dale teaches you to see the landscape like an artist. You learn to take photos that maximize the glory of the mountains and modify your sketch to highlight stirring features in the granite. You balance stable horizontal planes with energetic diagonals, and those lines translate to strong shapes in your watercolor.

Dale describes painting as a battle of the edges, and he shows you how to win. You contrast hard and soft lines for variety, and you learn techniques for creating lost-and-found edges that keep viewers curious.

Dale teaches you to inject emotion with daring color choices and maintain transparency as you layer. As you move from broad strokes on the cliff to points of light in the trees, you learn to make each element say exactly what you feel.
