So lots a couple of people were asking me to do a tutorial. I didn't know they are so hard because I find them kind of a pain in the ass to do , probably because I have never done one.

sorry for the big file size , but I will upload the actual painting by itself probably tomorrow , still some minor touch ups I forgot to handle

Any ways this is a basic approach of to how I would approach a landscape environment either at work or something personal at home

you can view a bigger version of the actual painting here

please don't think this is the only to do it for there are many , i am by no means an expert on the matter so whatever I say is not fact , its just my opinions and approaches to how i do it

lasso tool and gradient tool can be your friend if used correctly. I feel its important to not zoom into the details to early on and not rely on custom brushes. They are all just tools at the end of the day. So learning to paint things from scratch is always makes for a better artist in my opinion, and if you want to paint things from scratch you need reference.

if you want the full size just download it

thanx for looking

Awesome tips. I really like the part and explanation for staying zoomed out. I definitely do that too much, zooming in and getting too focused.

Very nice tutorial! Environments are something I've always struggled with, but this is making me want to pick it up again :)

That's one of the most useful landscape tutorial I've seen so far. Lots of tutorials explain how to precisely paint a rock or a river or a cloud, which is great of course, only this doesn't teach things such as composition. Your tutorial has got a more general approach, it helped me a lot. Thanks for sharing man! =)

This is great! You explained everything in such an easy and understandable way. :) I like how you explained the whole process, instead of being like "This is how you paint a stone". Thanks a lot!
