Everything about this guide is geared towards breaking down some of the barriers that are stopping you. Painting landscapes in gouache is an absolute delight and I want you to feel like you have the knowledge, tools and encouragement you need to get started.

How to Break Down Complex Scenes

The first section looks at how we can break down the myriad of information in a landscape into manageable chunks and how we can prevent from getting bogged down in tiny details. We look at making simpler color choices and how to use color to show atmosphere in our paintings.

Common Landscape Elements

Section 2 looks at common landscape elements such as trees, water, clouds and foliage and some of the general characteristics that will help you uncomplicate these features in your paintings. There is also a section on brush strokes and some exercises to help you explore the capabilities of your tools.
