Landscape oil painting in just 18 minutes wet on wet - Summary

Summary

In this video, Kevin Hill demonstrates how to create a painting without any cuts. He begins by applying a layer of glue to a two-inch brush and applying it to the canvas. He then uses a sky color to fill the top half of the canvas, gradually transitioning to a lighter color as it moves towards the horizon.

Next, he applies a dark color to create a foreground, blending it to ensure a smooth transition. He then paints some clouds using a one-inch brush, creating a basic shape and leaving areas darker or lighter for variation.

He then paints a mountain using black paint, highlighting it with white paint to create a soft and misty effect. Next, he adds a touch of blue and white to the painting, using it as a shadow color for the mountain.

He then moves on to painting trees, using a dark brown color to shape them. He highlights the trees using a combination of yellow, red, and green, ensuring to not overdo the highlighting and to apply it lightly.

He then adds tree trunks and bark, ensuring to apply the highlights lightly and to cover the bark texture. He then works on the reflections, using a combination of dark and light colors to create the effect.

Finally, he adds rocks and water, using a combination of brown and white to create the effect. He then uses white paint to highlight the water, separating it from the dark bushes.

Throughout the painting process, he emphasizes the importance of a light touch, layering the paint on thick to create a rich and textured effect. He concludes the painting by adding some final touches, such as highlighting the mountain and the trees.
