I really believe Phil does the most useful landscape tutorials on KZread because he always addresses this - the interpretation/simplification of a scene. Nobody else seems to do it in such depth.

Agreed! Just saying "use three values" t9 create form is somehting I haven't heard from other instructors, but is really Importent to build up a form "dark, half tone, lights." Also how to mix them ie "add a little more yellow to the greens as they turn into the sunlight ' - such simple but overlooked solutions to flat looking paintings.

Found this discussion and video on how to simplify and adjust values, temperature, and color in photos so helpful someone who primarily uses photos when painting.

Very, very helpful tutorial. Seeing how the photo evolves to be a great painting is a reminder that the artist is the one in charge to make it happen. Thanks Phil.

Exactly! Until recently, th3 scene was the one in charge, and I would try to copy what I could see, not thinking about making important decisions such as "what color and temp is the shadow, and how can i make it stand out from other near values and hues"- decisions like those really begin to show who is in charge, and it reflects in the painting and really is what makes an artists slicks apparent in the finished piece- it's not enough to capture a scene faithfully- the artists artistic decisions must be seen and apparent - it is what gives the paintings their real,character!

Thank you so much for sharing all these videos, Phil!!! You are very generous... and your explanations are so clear and helpful!!!

Great reminders that we, as artists, are the ones that own and dictate/interpret the scene - not the photo. Like everything else in life, this is something that requires practice. I've been focusing on it more when doing sketches and thumbnails, and asking myself: "What do I want to emphasize in this painting or composition?". Thanks for the discussion and inspiration, Phil 🙂.
