Kinkade Study

So anyone that knows me knows that I've been studying Kinkades technique. I know he gets a bad wrap because he mass produced art, but he was a very successful man with a plan right?

So I've been doing studies not only how he painted light, but also how I can best represent that in Photoshop. Believe it or not, it's surprisingly quick.

Once I get stronger with painting light, I'll probably share my brushes and my technique. However, I want to get better with it first.

My goal is to mix it up and apply this to my favorite genre -landscapes. Specifically, fantasy landscapes
