Go beyond your boundaries painting the revered yet steadily vanishing ranch landscape. From grazing herds and split-rail fenced pastures to rustic buildings and old weathered barn wood, learn about composition, color, and creative techniques to achieve texture. Explore ways to create landscapes that come alive with light and shadow, richness, and depth. Let the lure of the West get you back in the saddle as you take the next big leap forward in your artistic journey. Reference material provided.
