PROJECTS INCLUDED:
1. Alpine Winter, by J. Liliedahl
 SIZE:
22" x 28"
TECHNIQUE: Transparent Underpainting, Glazing, Opaque
Overpainting.
CONTENTS: 27 Pages, 5 color images, Color Swatches, Cartoon
Line Drawing.
Winter in the Alps is a bitterly cold but beautiful spectacle.
Clouds engulf the Alpine heights, lengthening the long, winter
nights. The beautiful, vast panoramas, so splendid in the summer
months, disappear from view and enclose farmsteads such as this
one into small pockets of civilization.
This particular farmhouse is located in Brientz, Switzerland,
where it was moved timber by timber from another location to preserve
its unique architectural style, along with a dozen other buildings
of irreplaceable, historical value. This outdoor museum provides
a glimpse into the hard, yet comfortable, life these dwellings
provided to their residents as long ago as the 15th century.
The sky is normally the lightest element in a composition, unless
the landscape is covered by snow or very light sand. This project
is devoted to showing you that there is a reversal of roles between
the sky and ground because of the highly reflective snow.
Reprinted project from the now discontinued Home Study Art Course.
2. Forked Path, by J. Liliedahl
 SIZE:
10-1/2" x 12"
TECHNIQUE: Glazing, Overpainting.
CONTENTS: 19 Pages, 4 Color Images, Color Swatches, 2
Cartoon Line Drawings.
I came upon this fork in the road on a walk through the wooded
countryside in Northeast Scotland.
This project is also the subject of my first video, V-1, "Basic
Landscape Painting" which demonstrates the process of painting
the subject in a horizontal format. It is highly recommended that
you view the video even though complete instructions are included
in this project. This subject was selected for the first, basic
introduction to landscape painting because it contains elements
found in many landscape subjects.
This printed lesson project was developed as a companion to the
video to provide convenient, printed references not included in
the original video package for those who feel the need for them.
Both painted versions are included in this packet, along with
cartoon line drawings for both horizontal and vertical formats
and a complete color swatch reference sheet.
3. Light in the Forest, by J. Liliedahl
 SIZE:
Any
TECHNIQUE: Underpainting Glazes, Overpainting Techniques.
CONTENTS: 7 Pages, 4 Color Images, Color Swatches.
This painting is designed to suggest the illusion of light streaming
into and illuminating the deep forest. Rather than paint the lights
in last, they are painted first. The lightest values are laid
down in the Tonal Wash and darker ones added until the forms emerge.
The luminous quality depends on this transparent, initial layer
of paint, rather than opaque ones, to unify and create the special
feeling of light in this painting.
The project is designed to teach freehand drawing through the
use of masses rather than line and, so, does not contain a cartoon
line drawing.
4. Rushing River, by J. Liliedahl
5. Swan Pond, by J. Liliedahl
 SIZE:
12" x 24"
TECHNIQUE: Underpainting, Glazing.
CONTENTS: 11 Pages, 4 Color Images. Color Swatches, Cartoon
Line Drawing.
This painting was designed to illustrate how the buildup of glazes
can create color and depth. It also shows how little can be painted
in subsidiary areas to the main subject and still suggest a great
amount of detail. It relies on the viewer's imagination to supply
the details in all the background areas, while giving enough information
in the center of interest to carry the painting as a realistic
subject.
