If Forests Feel Impossible to Paint, Watch This

Hey Artists

Struggling with forest scenes? You're not alone.

Layers of foliage, glowing light through leaves, transparent water, rocks, dense detail... forest landscapes can feel completely overwhelming.

But here's the thing: once you understand the right approach, even the most complex forest scenes become manageable.

Check out this YouTube video where I paint a challenging forest landscape step-by-step, showing you exactly how to tackle all those intimidating elements without getting lost in the details.

After 20+ years of painting landscapes and many years teaching thousands of students, I've learned that the secret isn't trying to paint everything you see, it's understanding the fundamentals that make ANY forest scene work.
