For this first week of Art Camp 3, we're going to break down landscapes to their essential components. We're going to look in depth at the specific fundamentals that landscapes rely on to be successful and start doing exercises to push those abilities.

There's a lot of repetitive work this week, but we need to drill this lesson in because it's so incredibly important. Everything we're doing in this course for the next few months is built on this basic lesson.

Each of these studies should probably take you 1530 minutes. If in doubt, err on the slow side. These are not supposed to be done quickly. Take your time and get those values right. If something looks off, stop yourself, analyze, and correct the values.
