DESCRIPTION

Richard Schmid Paints the Landscape - JUNE

The JUNE video is a valuable resource for artists aiming to master landscape painting techniques and elevate their artistic skills.

In this video, Richard Schmid demonstrates his plein air painting techniques, capturing a summer scene at his former home in Brattleboro, Vermont. Beginning with a rough sketch, then blocking in major shapes and values to establish the composition and layout, Watch Richard gradually build up layers of paint, from broad strokes to finer details. Richard demonstrates his method of mixing colors on the palette to achieve accurate tones and subtly applies those to the canvas to mimic the effects of natural light. Final touches include refining the details, focusing on the texture and depth of the landscape elements, foliage, flowers, and the fabrics flowing in the June breeze.

The second painting session brings the viewer into Richard's studio with an aesthetic and technical analysis of the morning's work, which soon develops into a fascinating tour de force of palette knife and transparent wash painting combined. Richard also delves into the important use of color charts, the use of interesting straight lines, capturing the drama of color, the focal point, and much more.

Topics include:
  • Challenges of painting in bright sunlight
  • Composing a painting
  • Precision drawing with paint
  • Capturing accurate colors from life
  • Creating an exciting variety of greens
  • Creating edges with character
  • The magic of palette knife painting
