In this oil painting tutorial I'll show you how to paint a valley landscape scene. We'll explore how to paint photorealistic details in the foreground to give a sense of distance and perspective in the painting.
I'm a professional landscape artist with over 20 years of experience in oil painting. My KZfaq Channel is dedicated to helping people learn how to paint in oils. I really believe that everyone can learn how to paint!

I could hear the crunch of those rocks under my feet, the swaying of every blade of grass with the breeze and the shadows of the clouds above my head. Heck, I could even smell the fresh air in that painting! 😌

This fine work of art is mind blowing...My God! This all-in-one, A to Z painting video contains at least 4 lessons combined into one. A lot of high value info was crammed in 15 minutes of high quality video. The blocking in phase itself was a revelation...the depth perception was created at that time itself. His deft usage of different hues and values that created the illusion of death is simply marvelous. The left half that contained the mountain and the undulating and descending valley with meadows was shown to be under the shadow of passing cloud. What a fantastic idea! The sun was not shown, but the viewer can "feel" the shadow! In the foreground on the right, the depiction of the rock slide of the cliff face and the scattered rocks settling at various levels of the cliff is unbelievable! The sheer depth of the cliff is shown from vantage point above it!! Only a top Master can visualize and paint such a complicated scenario. Michael, please bring this full video out as early as possible. For people like me who are far off to receive DVDs, a digital download may be arranged for purchase at your upcoming site. Thank you Michael for your love of art! It is in display here in great splendour.

I've never enjoyed art tutorial videos more than these. James doesn't talk you to death for one thing and his demeanor is easy going, no pressure, trust and go with it. The subject matter is awesome. Watching one of his paintings come to completion with the right speed and appropriate breaks for tips is highly effective fro me. I'm really absorbing this which really increases my confidence. Thank you James, your a great artist/teacher.

Stunning scenery! I love how peaceful art is, how it can ease your mind through any time of stress. The strokes of the brush, the warm colors, the evolution of an idea in to a piece of art. Even if I am not the one doing it, to watch others do the very thing I love, I find it to be very therapeutic.

(Greetings from Florida.) Your perspective expertise blew me away on this one! Excellent work. Music accompanying choices are also great. Thank you also for getting this 84 year old to haul her paint brushes out of storage to give "it" another go before it is too late to bother! (proably is, but I don't care :-)))).

I took a look at many of your other paintings on google and I must say Michael that you have really taken landscape painting to a new level. I have been painting for almost 30 years and have looked for inspiration from many of different artist however, you somehow are able to capture some ineffable something in most of your paintings that distinguish you from the herd. I really look forward to your next project!
