Landscapes make a difference with Effects

Landscapes aren’t just about what we see—they’re about what we feel.

In this video, I dive into how landscapes influence emotion, mood, and artistic direction. From color choices to atmosphere, every element carries an impact that goes beyond the canvas.

As artists, we’re not just painting places—we’re translating experiences. And sometimes, the way a landscape affects you becomes the most powerful part of your work.

So here we go. Let's talk about landscapes and um what you have in mind for whether it's trees, bushes, um sand or dirt, or whatever the case may be, mountains, whatever the case may be for your type of landscape and the settings and the background, and incorporating a lot of different elements within the targeted area. And let's talk about paintings and the different styles that you could bring to the table to build that type of landscape that you're looking for. I happen to love trees and I love nature, but I don't just like it the way it is when you walk in the woods and you see a bunch of tall trees and you see leaves all over the ground and you see dirt and you see a dirt road and fences and so forth, and then create your design based on what you're looking at right in front of you. Um, I like to take that simple logic of a simple tree and then expand what that tree can represent on a canvas with the right background, with the right colors, with the right tones, with the right blending, um, that kind of thing. And so I'm gonna show you a few different styles and creations based on different patterns and based on different layouts and how the paint comes together to create the background, but then you lay in your trees and your elements of the trees and the branches and the whatever you want to do. In many cases, I like to create a tree with its branches and arms out and so forth, but I don't necessarily like to add all the different colors of the tree as part of the painting. Not all my paintings have a full blossom tree. Uh so let's take a look. So here's a perfect example of what a complicated landscape might look like, because you have the rich browns and golds and echoes throughout the ground. And then you're starting to see the background with the sky coming in, with the beautiful blues and and unbelievable shading of the careful blues and sketching in the yellows and so forth. And then in the center, you start seeing the trees and its branches and a bare tree sitting in that kind of setting. And then let's go to something a little bit different, a little bit different type of brush strokes, and you start coming to something like this. Again, you're seeing the rich ground below it, and you're seeing all the different tones mixed in, and the blending and the brushwork that's carefully done to bring in all the different colors, but then you see that simple tree, just this bare tree, and yet it has the sky and the background, the flow and the composition of the flow of the paint, and it brings in the various rainbows in a deep background and setting, yet makes the piece so simple and yet appealing. And then you have something totally different, and you have something like this, and then you have something like this, where once again you have the landscape built in, but you've got these bare trees, little trees that tell its own story, and little bushes and greenery, and the sky in the background, yet the sky captures the whites, the blues, and the mix, and yet the composition is incredible. So going from this to this, to then this, it gives you an idea of what is possible when you're creating these wonderful landscapes and designs and creations, and you're trying to capture and allow the people in on the story of these bare trees sitting in the wind and sitting in the dust and in the setting of the beautiful golds and browns and the skies behind it. Creations are meant to make you see something that you don't normally see. And it's not just the standard forest out there in the world, the different parks and forestry. It's what you can envision in your mind as to what that setting, that background, that palette, the colors could represent in your wonderful landscapes. Have a wonderful night. Look forward to talking to you again.
