Welcome to my first-ever digital plein air tutorial! I’m going to go over one of my current favourite things in digital painting – painting a traditional landscape from life en plein air.

Hackaday alumnus [Phil Burgess] has come up with the best tutorial for light painting we’ve seen. It’s such a good setup, it can be used to create animated .gifs using multiple camera exposures.

As a way to frame a scene, as a way to show the movement of air and light, and as a subject itself, the tree is a foundational part of landscape painting.
