This straightforward introduction from much-loved artist, Matthew Palmer, will guide you through all the stages of painting successful landscapes.

Matthew explains how to work from photographs, creating the basic sketch, the use of colour and washes and how to build a scene in simple stages. Even if these are familiar to you, his simple explanations can provide new insights and he is particularly sound on the basics of perspective.

On this DVD, using just two colours, Matthew will show you how to capture the drama and contrasts of Venice by Night, as well as some handy tips on creating real depth in your painting.

This DVD has an accompanying book “Watercolour Landscapes for the Absolute Beginner with Matthew Palmer" (MPWLB) available separately.
