In part 2 of our backdrop series, painter Jay Smith starts filling in the background details. In this installment he adds mist to the valleys and small treetops and sun highlights to the mid-ground hills.

  1. If I can do what you suggest — don't worry, experiment, have fun — I should do OK. Thanks, Jay!

  2. Very nice! I think that this backdrop painting series is terrific – lots of good information for the guy who does "paint landscapes". Someday I would like to see a video on painting a backdrop with the rolling prarie lands. That would be a much different texture – fields and crops with fewer trees. Looking forward to part 3.
