Learn to Draw Landscapes in 30 Days
Welcome!
In this video series, artist Paul Richmond breaks down the fundamentals of landscape drawing into 10-minute daily exercises that will help you learn how to draw the elements of nature, capture light, and create depth. You will be amazed at how much your drawing skills will improve in a short time with focused, daily practice. We will begin by doing quick studies of various elements of nature - trees, rocks, clouds, mountains, etc. Then we will do several drawings together studying the effects of light. And finally, we will bring it all together with a longer drawing exploring the concept of creating depth. Paul's gentle, lighthearted approach will make learning fun and keep you coming back for more.
