Landscape Painting Demonstrations - "The Adirondacks" By Hall Groat II

n Volume #25: PAINTING THE ADIRONDACKS Hall introduces various landscape painting concepts and techniques that are essential to painting a classic scene with water, rocks and trees. He focuses on establishing the underlying structure and composition, along with developing a sense of form, space and light filtering through the trees. One is able to see firsthand how he uses both bristle and sable brushes to realize a variety of textured surfaces, in addition to contrasting warm and cool tonalities to suggest movement. Within the two-hour DVD are stunning close-up shots of Hall's classical oil painting techniques and views of his studio as he discusses his paintings at different stages. Also, included are images of other landscape pieces he has created.
Through his unique, step-by-step approach, Hall outlines the processes that were used by such 19th century painters as Paul Cezanne, Edouard Manet and George Inness. Using a clear and concise teaching approach, he reveals the secrets behind creating dazzling paintings filled with dramatic light and shadow, covering such topics as establishing the foundation forms and composition, developing the background, painting the subtle reflective lights and striking highlights and details.

each and every one of the hall groat vids are extremely misleading...the title should not be called DEMONSTRATION, instead they should be called ADVERTISING...funny thing is if you reversed it and actually did more demo and less advertising, you would probably sell more of your product...
