In the autumn of 2022, I visited a village called Akitsuki. This is a beautiful village in Fukuoka prefecture, Japan. It was a family trip. And at the end of the day, I wandered around some rice fields and came across the beautiful scene below.
In the video lesson below, I show you how to paint this scene in 5 simple stages.
