Lesson 6: Final Illustration (Basic Player)

Note:  You are watching this lesson on the alternative player. Allow the videos to buffer for a few minutes or until the grey loading bar is filled ahead to ensure uninterrupted playback. 

In this final lesson, students will complete their mixed media illustration. Using the reference photo of a house in a wildflower field, focus on creating atmospheric perspective by transitioning colors from bright in the foreground to muted in the background.

The goal is to complete the piece while experimenting with texture and adding personal touches.
