Let's go!
Back-lit Aspen Grove
🌲 Step into the golden glow of an aspen forest in sun-backlit drama. In this 2+ hour demo, Keith Bond leads you through understanding how light, color, and form interact in nature’s most delicate moments.
You’ll learn how to:
💡 Read and paint back-lighting effects—how light passes through leaves, filters through trunks, and defines atmosphere.
🎨 Develop and personalize your palette—choose colors you genuinely respond to, not just what’s in the photo.
🔍 See and map value shifts and temperature changes in shadow, mid-tone, and light areas under complex natural lighting.
🌿 Create rhythm and depth in a landscape—turn what looks chaotic in nature into a composed, clear, powerful painting.
Perfect for landscape artists who want to deepen their observation of light and elevate their ability to paint forests, back-lit foliage, and atmospheric scenes with confidence. Runtime: 2+ hours
