In this blog post I will show you how to paint this landscape inspired by the mountains around the village of Glenorchy in southern New Zealand.
In this painting I will show you how we can use tonal values to create light and shadow. This painting features a contrast between the background hills and mountain that are bathed in the soft evening light, juxtaposed against the foreground which is in shadow.
In this blog post I will show you how to paint this beautiful rural mountain scene inspired by the Matukituki Valley in southern New Zealand.
The inspiration for this painting came from a plein air painting trip I went on with a friend. As we were painting the mountain view suddenly loads of cows started surrounding us and many of them were drinking from the stream.
The presence of the cows were a welcome addition as I was able to include them in my original plein air painting. It then inspired the studio painting which I am about to demonstrate to you now.
