With any form of art, I think it’s equally important to see mistakes and wrong turns as it is to see beautifully finished pieces. In this case (and because it’s my first full-length tutorial), I’ve gone for a structured approach. And of course, more importantly it just looks cool!Įverybody has their own preferred ways of working, whether it’s a freely evolving straight-to-paint method or taking a piece through a series of distinct, planned stages from a well-defined starting point.

It speaks of the simple notion that whether it’s in art or life, we’re all on our own journey. It may seem like a bit of a well-worn idea, but the basic visual concept of a lone character in a dramatic location is a very popular one. Almost immediately, my thoughts were quickly drawn further along the path toward winter, and I decided I wanted to produce something with an icy setting that offered both an imposing sense of scale and of a journey through it. When I was asked to produce this landscape tutorial, summer had just begun to fade into autumn. Download the Icy Landscapes Tutorial as a PDF if you want to keep a copy of it on your computer. Download this week’s free brush set: Jason’s Icy Landscapes Brush Set and create your own seasonal art. We asked him to break down the steps of his process so you can see exactly how he uses these brushes to create rocks, mountains, and icy surfaces in these epic environments. He went at it with a full-on winter scene, and he even shared the brush set he use to create this art so you can create your own snowy scenes in anticipation of winter. We asked Jason Heeley to create a tutorial about what he does very well - drawing epic landscapes.
