There’s something both powerful and peaceful about this scene—the lone wolf standing above the mist-covered wilderness creates a real feeling of freedom, solitude and quiet strength. In The Edge of Wilderness, Michael takes you step by step through the complete painting process. Showing you how to create convincing depth through distant mountains, layered forest and drifting mist. You’ll also learn how to build rugged texture in the foreground rock, capture the fine detail and character of the wolf, and use a careful balance of soft and sharp edges to guide the viewer’s eye and bring the whole scene together.
