Understanding Light and Shadow

🌄 Paint like a traditional artist—digitally.

 Join Tiffanie Mang as she explores the dramatic light and shadow of desert slot canyons using Adobe Photoshop and Heavy Paint in a two-part digital painting demo rooted in traditional techniques.


In this course, Tiffanie shows you how to:
🎨 Carve light and shadow with painterly depth
🪨 Simplify complex textures of rocks and cliffs
👁️ Use value and contrast to lead the eye
💻 Compare workflows between Photoshop and Heavy Paint using the same reference photo


Whether you're a digital artist or a traditional painter curious about digital tools, this is a powerful lesson in composition, simplification, and expressive mark-making.
