This painting study and its accompanying video (coming up soon) are part of a thesis research project that I am doing for a Master's degree in Art Education at Concordia University. They are also part of the curriculum of my Landscape painting class. The aim of the videos is to articulate both verbally and visually the different aspects of the painting process as well as the underlying theoretical concepts that are embedded in the thinking that goes on when caught up in the act of painting. For an experienced painter this thinking seems almost intuitive, but for those of you who want to learn more about how to paint, it is not all that obvious. I hope these videos will be useful to you.
On a personal note, I have a particular fondness for misty landscapes, especially after having live in France for several years. I would like to thank Marcel Moré for permitting me to use his photo of Mount Semnoz near the french city of Annecy.
