How to Paint Landscapes Video, Painting Ireland DVD

In the Irish Landscape painting video Hall introduces the tradition of landscape painting through a breathtaking view of the rolling hills and water of County Cork in Southern Ireland. He paints the classic view on an 11″x14″ canvas in his studio through directly observing an 8″x10″ plein-air piece that was completed while looking across the lush landscape of Cork, Ireland. Included within the two-hour landscape painting video are visually striking shots of Hall’s traditional landscape painting techniques and views of his studio as he discusses his paintings at different stages.

Through his simple teaching style, he demonstrates how to begin a landscape painting by establishing the simple shapes or the foreground, middle-ground and background. Learn how to paint directly into a wet undertone, and understand how the colors of hills, trees and sky interact with each other.  Hall reveals the secrets behind creating dazzling paintings filled with luminous light, covering such topics as establishing the foundation forms and composition, studying the light source and patterns, and contrasting warm and cool color values. “Landscape painting is like an atmospheric box of air … you just paint little abstract shapes that carry you back into space.”
