About this lesson

Compares two ways of suggesting grass: a studio method that pre-wets the board and keeps it damp while layering values and silhouettes, and a looser plein-air approach using worn brushes dragged sideways. Focuses on creating the illusion of grass through value placement instead of painting single blades.
