How to paint a Summer Landscape without Blue & Green Pigments | Using the Apelles Palette Outdoors | π¨ School of Apelles
🕑 Added 2022-11-11 18:27:01 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
We decided to do an outdoor landscape painting video with Sebastian Salvo. It is something he has never done before.
In an upcoming video, he will bring the landscape painting into his studio to work more on it from fantasy and to possibly use it in composition.
In this video you will learn about:
- Getting blue color from white and black pigments
- The "watercolour" start
- Using the ground as an integral colour
- Marrying empirical studies with poetry
- Importance of cool vs warm in achieving volume
- What being "detailed" actually means
- How a rhythmic approach allows you to grasp the totality
- Choosing focal point based on the rhythm in the landscape
- The role of horizontal and vertical strokes
- The glory of grey
- How nature always composes according to the X-principle
- Thinking in repetitions

I know - there are so many internalized art clichés that can hinder our development⦠- Jan-Ove Tuv
Well, that's a bit different! A most welcome episode, thank you. I have always mainly painted landscapes, so it is good to see how Sebastian approaches it. Quite a relief to see that he starts 'plein air' but then takes it to the studio to work on - I always felt guilty about doing that (yes, I know, silly "art world" brainwashing, but it's there in the back of my mind all the same) - so looking forward to the subsequent video.
