Finished My First Real Landscape Painting

 It took me 3 Days, but I'm done!

My first real landscape, from following JamesJulierArt Tutorial

I'm really happy with the results, except for the sandy beach.  It doesn't look beachy enough for me.

Like the other tutorials I followed, this was done on an Ipad with Procreate, and mine was done on my Veikk with Clip Studio Paint. 

The artist used a medium airbrush for his, but clip studio only has hard and soft airbrushes, so I used hard.  That was the only brush I use for the entire painting. 

Everything was hand painted; no specialty brushes (in digital art, you can "cheat" by using brushes that sort of stamp images in place...I didn't do that). 

I learned a lot and I plan on following more of James' tutorials one day. 

Working on a Multi Day Digital Landscape Painting

 Landscape Painting?  Why Not

Trying a landscape tutorial, step 1, sky, background mountains, and fog

I saw this Mountain and Tree Landscape Art tutorial on Youtube, by James Julier Art Tutorials, and thought I'd give it a try. 

I was really happy with the way my background came out.  I was terrified to add the trees, lol. 

Following a landscape tutorial.  Added trees and a tree line

The art instructor made it seem so easy...just a few straight lines for the tree trunks, and scribbly squiggles for the branches.  Yeah not so easy.  My first few tries looked like something done in kindergarten.  Thankfully this is digital art so it's easy to press undo and try again, lol.  I finally came up with these trees.  Mine aren't as full as the artists, but I think it's because I live in Northern Ontario and our Pines and Spruce trees have a lot of gaps, like this.  To me, this is what trees look like. Only Christmas trees from tree farms are full 

The next step is to add color to the trees.  I'm embarrassed to say it took me two days to get as far as I did, lol.  It's literally a 33 minute tutorial and it's taking me multiple days, a sore hand, and a blister on my finger from holding the pen so hard. I need to adjust my settings, lol.

Wish me luck.
