Capture the mood of a moment with Craig Nelson’s Plein air oil painting techniques.
In this oil video workshop, you’ll learn to be observant and decisive enough to paint inviting landscapes within the time constraint of a shifting sun.
In his oil painting lesson, Nelson pushes you beyond static green trees and boring blue water to find the variations and intriguing accent colors that make nature complex and beautiful. Nelson shows you what to look for and what to leave out, and you’ll see inset shots of his view to help you follow his progress. He shows you how to paint layers of foliage to avoid a flat look and how to translate the nuances of water and reflections to your canvas.
Nelson preaches patience with detail and constantly moves across the painting to keep his composition fresh. He takes the piece back to the studio for just enough touch-up to improve his design while maintaining the essence of his single-session Plein air experience.
BONUS CLIP: Negative Painting with an Egbert
In this clip from his video oil painting workshop, Plein Air in Oil, Craig Nelson uses a long-handled brush to manipulate the paint that’s already on his panel. He adds detail to a stand of trees by painting over it with his sky color and softens the edges in a patch of foliage.
