A landscape study I did from I photo I took while hiking. I had a couple of goals in mind while working on it.
1. No zooming in. I stayed about 40-50% zoom (this one is shrunk down). I get caught up in details and want to keep an eye on my over all shapes.
2. I wanted to try a lot of brushes. You ever feel like you have too many brushes and don't know what they all do? I kept picking random ones to try out. But this was sort of a fail because I went back to one of my default brushes and it painted out most of the texture. I have to keep trying to experiment.
3. I suck at landscapes! I haven't tried doing them much until the past year. I think I was too intimidated from the amount of things going on in a landscape when you're looking at nature. Part of me not allowing myself to zoom in was to stop feeling so overwhelmed by the detail.
It was fun!
