Session 1: Profound Simplicity

In this lesson we learn how to break down complex scenes into manageable paintings that are both powerful and accessible! This is the beginning of every great painting.

Session 2: Gradients

Gradients are an amazingly powerful way of communicating light and movement. They add tasteful complexity and communicate form... lets explore!

Session 3: Contrast

Contrast is king! Contrast is what allows us to control how people see our paintings - We can use it to draw attention, and to hide details. Contrast is the life of a painting and we are going to find out how!

Session 4: Perspective

Perspective is often communicated in a very confusing and dry manner, but in this lesson, we will learn how to use "Patterns in Perspective" to give LIFE to our paintings in a way that is both satisfying and intuitive.

Session 5: Lighting

In this lesson we will learn a lot about how lighting works, and how to apply it to our landscapes in order to make powerful and effective lighting choices! 

Session 6: Transitions

Its hard to learn where to put our time and attention, and so in this lesson we are learning the value of spending time focusing on "Transitions". Being able to focus on what communicates well allows us to say a lot with very few strokes! That's visual poetry! 

Session 7: Color

We have all been waiting for this... COLOR! Love it or hate it, its a huge part of the emotional appeal of a painting, so lets learn how to use color to enhance our paintings! 

Session 8: Mood

In this lesson we learn how to manipulate mood and evoke emotional reactions!
