Kieron’s tips for landscape painting

1. Go on holiday to where you really want to go, and be inspired.

2. Start with acrylics, then watercolours, then pastels and then oils
3. When you set out to do a landscape, “start with the sky first, top to bottom.”
4. When you do distance, it’s lighter, and when you do foreground it comes darker.
5. If you’re doing a figure in the winter, do a brown head, leave a small gap, do a blue jacket and brown legs. Then with the gap get a red pastel and do a flick of red so it looks like a scarf.
6. Keep on painting.
