About
Plots with dry nature have a number of characteristic features: usually, they are expressive in form (imagine dried rose hips) and limited in color.
In this lesson, Svetlana Lance will tell you how to work with complex, twisted or deformed volumes in drawing and color, as well as how to correctly place color accents using only 5-6 similar colors. At first glance, the task may seem difficult, but in just 38 minutes of the lesson, together with the author, you will write a spectacular dry sheet and work out the necessary skills.
