Landscape Painting in Sabino Canyon




A few young artists, Desi and Tatum, participated in Outside Art's landscape painting lessons in Sabino Canyon last Saturday. After walking about a mile uphill with easels over our shoulders and about 50 pounds of paints, brushes and canvases, we found our inspirational vista. (along with some shade) After a drink of water, and a thorough panoramic intake, we set up out portable easels, discussed, planned and painted our compositions and started our background tones. Desi and Tatum applied a few new painting techniques, such as impasto, wet-in-wet, and double-charging your brush. These outside artists did a great job with these new techniques. See for yourself!
