Richard W. Patt 1 hour acrylic landscape demo at AC art association

Here some info about him:

He challenges himself to complete a landscape painting in one hour from his imagination.

• He usually tones the surface of the canvas. At this demo he used a bright yellow but depending on the painting he may use a very dark brown.
  
• He works fairly large, 30 x 30" starting out with a 3" regular cheap hardware store paint brush then using a larger cheap bristle brush.
  
• At the end to tie his painting together after everything is dry he goes over with a diluted, staining color like Indian yellow hue or Quinacridone burnt orange.
  
• Sometimes he goes on and adds to these paintings using a palette knife.
  

It's important to know how to draw but not necessary to tie yourself to a detailed drawing. The faster you paint the less distracted by little details that may be less important. He's been using the square format lately and used about 10 planes in his demo.
