Background layers are one of the most important parts of creating strong artwork, yet many artists overlook them. In this video, I show how backgrounds support composition, depth, storytelling, lighting, and atmosphere.
Whether you're a beginner artist or an experienced painter, learning how to build effective background layers can instantly improve your art and make your scenes feel more immersive and professional.
Old paintings don’t have to be wasted canvases. In this video, I paint over older artwork and transform it into something completely new while exploring creativity, improvement, and the artistic process.This process is common among artists, and it can lead to unexpected results and stronger artwork overall.
