This class is all about learning to create a simple but very descriptive digital landscape using expressive lines and just two main colours. With a limited color palette that will dance together to create unity and harmony, you will be able to focus on creating shapes that are interesting and descriptive, to describe your natural composition. This way, you will get a better understanding of the landscape principles like balance, focalisation and simplicity.

You will learn the basic concepts and principles that are applied when creating a landscape, whether it’s from imagination or real life, no matter the technique:

Rhythm and Line: You will create a clear direction for your composition using color, and concise lines to describe your landscape. After that, to make your experience feel less tedious, you will get to duplicate different elements of the composition and play with their shape, to ease your workflow and understand scaling as well.

Focalization: Color contrast is another big theme of this class, and you will learn to play with it and subtly use it to emphasize certain areas.

Unity: You will create unity for your landscape by using similar shapes and patterns to describe different elements. Color will be the second main element to bring unity for your composition.

Simplicity: Creating a landscape relies on understanding the big shapes and keeping them simple. After you have described the big shapes of the composition, you will add details that help you bring variety and personality.

Proportion: You will learn to create perspective for your artwork, playing with the scale and the shape of the elements.

Balance: Following the basic concepts and principles and using color, form and scale, as well as weight and direction, you will learn to compose your landscape so it can have balance.
