ABSTRACT
This chapter introduces landscape. This landscape step by step uses the Impressionist brush from the Artists brush category which creates a very painterly impression and is an excellent brush for this subject. Paint the background of the picture with the brush strokes in a downwards direction; the water should then be painted with horizontal brush strokes. Paint the trees on the left in the same way and then the grassy slope. This should be done with long horizontal brush strokes interspersed with a few vertical strokes to indicate taller grasses. Create a new Watercolor layer and place it in between the two existing layers. Paint the daffodils in short vertical brush strokes using the same brush size and opacity. The introduction in Painter 11 of the new range of Real hard media brushes, and in particular the Real pencils, has transformed the way that pencil drawings can be made in Painter.
