The Components of Landscape DVD with Ron Ranson

An Artist Palette Productions art instruction DVD. The Components of Landscapes by Ron Ranson features In three jam packed painting sessions, in which Ron Ranson outlines and demonstrates the step-by-step process he follows to create great landscape paintings.

As is the case with most instructors, Ranson shares with the student the why's and wherefores of material selection and then follows that with his down to earth teaching the "ingredients" of landscape ranging from rocks and skies through flowing water and shadows.

In the process of teaching his method of landscape painting, Ranson takes the student through value and composition with a black and white painting segment before introducing color and then working toward the finished piece.

Ron Ranson's watercolor paintings are both impressionistic and representational. Using his signature hake brush, Ron popularized the use of the hake brush for landscape painting. His aim is to produce strong and colorful paintings with an economy of strokes and a limited palette. He teaches the freedom of expression and simplicity. You will learn how to paint decisively and quickly. Strong design principles are emphasized, and his English sense of humor keeps the you laughing. Ron is an artist, teacher, and a best selling author of a large number of books. He is one of the world's most traveled watercolor teachers, giving workshops and private tuition to students on every continent for many years.
