You’re going to paint with every color in the most gorgeous royal colors in this course.
It’s one of my most gorgeous pieces. It’s a real WOW painting that will brighten any home or office.
Whenever I paint this for a collector, they tell me how much joy and happiness it brings to them.
Just think of that…
You get to enjoy a hobby that allows you to share joy!
How great is that?!
That’s why I’m thrilled to share this painting course with you.
From Blank Canvas to Background Layers
In lesson #1 you’ll get started by discovering...
My “kitchen sink” trade secret to painting gorgeous backgrounds in less than 10 minutes WITHOUT a paintbrush. This saves you hours and hours so you can focus on the FUN stuff like texture and using your palette knives.
How to push the distant hills back in your painting to create depth. I'll share what colors I always use in this step!
The best way to make graceful hills. The big background mistake keeping your painting from looking more professional.
The easel “shish-kabob” trick to get the base edge painting without any smudging. Seems silly, but works like a charm.
Sketch in the house
In Lesson #2 you’ll begin mapping in the distant house and tree...
The easiest way to go from reference photo to reality! Plus, how I map in the background to make the rest of the painting go smoothly - and a tip to be sure your painting looks professional!
How to paint faster than most artists. This is how my students regularly create 2x, 3x, even 5x more than most painters.
The best way to create depth by adding the foreground tree. And how to map in the lavender fields to achieve that depth.
Combining reference photos to create the elements in your painting! You don't need to use just one!
Making sure you know where the house will be
In Lesson #3 you’ll start adding the details to the house. You’ll discover...
How your painting really comes together when you do a few easy things. You'll be so surprised how well things look after this step!
How to layer and mix colors. This 3-stage layering technique makes your scene come to life.
What one color I add to create highlights and sunshine. And how to make your painting unique!
How to make your house look realistic. No slanting houses here!
Time for the Juicy Texture!
In Lesson #4 I’ll reveal my signature secrets for creating juicy texture, including…
The secret ingredient that makes your tree trunks thick and free of unintentional (and all too common) cracks in the paint. Plus, a MASSIVE time saver I’ve discovered over the years to tint my trees in the most delightful and speedy way.
How to make each knife-stroke unique. Actually, it’s the fastest way to paint and the unique strokes are an inevitable side effect.
A common misconception — Your trees have to be perfect, right? Wrong! Here’s why you want imperfections in your trees, especially the small ones. Plus, without this kind of “tilt” effect, your scene looks less natural.
Why listening to your intuition is better than perfect palette knife technique. FACT: Anyone who can butter toast or frost a cupcake can paint this lovely scene.
Finally adding in Lavender!
In Lesson #5 you’ll give your rows of lavender deeper definition. You’ll discover...
Why you don’t have to wait for a dry painting to get gorgeous definition. I mean you can, if you want. But this is much faster.
How to scrape away the bland 2-dimensional spots most hobby artists can almost never avoid. If you scrape your scene properly with this tool, your fields will gain depth you can get in no other way.
Why almost dropping your palette knife is a good sign. It means you’re doing this right!
Time to Add "Pop" to Your Painting...
This lesson is SO FUN because your painting is finally taking shape! You'll learn...
The best way to create the third layer to the house. Plus one color I add to bring the house some warmth.
Why you never need to worry about ruining your painting. And how to fix anything you don't like!
How easy it is to create cute little shutters. Make them whatever color you'd like!
Radiant Reds & Beautiful Blobs...
In this 7th lesson, you’ll discover...
How to make the leaves vivid and striking. This final touch on trees gives you a realistic look
My pet peeve when adding final highlights to the leaves. Don’t do what most artists do. This “finishing” technique is far better, yet super easy.
How to break up your clumps with a top layer of leaf coloring. Plus a little scrape in the final layer is the best way to finish your wonderful new world.
The perfect palette knife to create gorgeous leaves and why this is the easiest part.
Radiant Reds & Beautiful Blobs...
In this final lesson, you’ll discover...
How to add colors to create a really eye-catching painting. This final touch on the lavender does the trick.
Why strategically placing beautiful blobs creates an unforgettable painting. I wish I’d begun using this method much earlier in my career.
