Hi friends!
This afternoon is my last Shore Art Club class for the fall session. I am teaching how to paint a monochromatic landscape. The composition was inspired by a few landscape images that I saved from a California National Parks calendar. Today I got ready to work on my lesson. I gathered all of my supplies and sat down to make the demo. Then decided that it would be a good opportunity to make another tutorial!
You can find How To Draw and Paint a Monochromatic Landscape on my YouTube channel here.
What is a monochromatic color scheme?
A monochromatic color scheme is when you use one color with white and black to make tints and shades. Adding white to a color creates tints and adding black to a color creates shades. Be sure to have more than three values. Five to seven is ideal for adding depth. A monochromatic color palette is a simple, dynamic way to have a unified color scheme throughout your painting.
Here are a few other inspirational photos that I found on Unsplash.com, a great resource for royalty free images.
I hope that I have inspired you to try a monochromatic color palette in your work. Grab your materials and come paint with me!
