Expanding Landscapes

  • Course

Bigger landscapes. Bolder marks. Less worrying.

Five complete landscape projects plus a bonus lesson. Designed to help you paint bigger, freer, and with more confidence.

What You’ll Come Away With

Six completed landscape paintings on 30x40 inch canvases, ready to hang on your walls. The skills to mix colour, build atmosphere, and paint with real confidence. And the kind of looseness that lets a painting feel like a place rather than a careful copy of one.

This class is for anyone who wants to paint bigger, looser, more atmospheric landscapes. Whether you've been painting landscapes for years and want to loosen up, or you're new to landscapes and ready to try something expressive, you'll find your place here. The lessons are designed for all skill levels, with step-by-step instruction throughout.

Lesson 1 - Blue Horizon

This lesson is all about ease and flow. We will use charcoal and acrylics to create a simple yet beautiful contemporary painting. I chose to create this piece in gorgeous shades of blue but you can use these techniques to create a similar piece in any colour you like!

Lesson 2 - Daybreak

In lesson two I will share my fearless, intuitive approach as we take a journey creating a soft yet vibrant, abstract sunrise. In this lesson we will warm things up with a beautiful palette of pinks, gold and green. We will play with texture, using a trowel to create fabulous dimensional clouds!

Lesson 3 - Moonlit Meander

For this project we will start by painting with abandon, adding colour to the canvas without any thought of how the finished piece may look. We will start off dark and bring brighter blues, greens and whites in as we go. We will play with the paint in a fun and free way allowing it to drip and flow eventually finding ourselves with this bold abstract landscape.

Lesson 4 - Passing Time

In this lesson we will head to the beach! We will start off using bold shades of blue and purple. Then we will embark on an intuitive journey letting the canvas and paint guide us to this dramatic night time seascape. I will share step by step how to create beautiful, dreamy clouds.
