Often as beginners, we struggle to understand how to put into practice the essential techniques and theoretical knowledge to create the painting we have in our minds. In night landscapes, it's important to preserve the first layer of brighter and lighter paint. This creates additional contrast once we add the dark sky in.
By the end of this course, you will have a firm understanding of the processes and techniques of transforming a photograph into an original painting with vibrant colors and character.
I will walk you through how to complete this painting step by step, and how you can apply this same process to paint other night landscapes. The photo reference is of Porthcurno Beach, Cornwall U.K.

Materials - what paints, paper, brushes, and pens you will need
How to paint a beautiful night landscape and apply this process to any reference photo
How to plan your painting through sketching and understanding compositional elements
Creating stunning contrast through the correct use of values in painting
