Quick Landscapes

Canyon

Dessert (Rock Texture)

Quick landscape painting of a dessert scene but i cheated and used a rock texture... I found this is a good way to save time and achieve realistic looking rocks but unless you have the ability to draw or paint as good as a photo texture over the top then it's pretty useless. For example i tried to draw a truck going through the dessert and thought the truck didn't look bad it was not photo perfect and looked sloppy in comparison to the rocks.
