The demo covers key techniques like blocking in dark shapes, establishing a shadow pattern, and building up layers of extreme light and middle-value darks and lights. I’ll also explore how to use cool, colorful shadows and warm, vibrant highlights. Plus, you'll see how to add dynamic figures that enhance the composition without making them look static.

Packed with tips for creating impressionist-style paintings, this video is perfect for those looking to loosen up their style and focus on light and energy.
