Just for starters
Both this taster package and the flagship programme are aimed at beginners or those returning to painting, and right from the start you will be working alongside me to create your own unique works of art in every lesson in every module.
To set the scene, I will explain how I was inspired to first of all draw and paint and then to teach those same wonderful skills to others, then I will introduce you to the full programme and the way it is carefully structured into 5 thematic modules each containing 5 lesson packages.
Next we will explore the changing ways that landscape has been used by artists over the centuries in their paintings from inventions in mythological depictions to realistic impressions painted in situ ‘en plein air’.

Mixing the ingredients
Let me then show you how you can create these fabulous landscapes with just the minimum amount of materials and equipment before you dive into the first of 2 practical painting sessions in this free taster package.
This shows you how to mix a myriad of colours from just 3 primary colours plus black and white as you create your own colour wheel and get an understanding of the way colours contrast or harmonise with one another.
Then you can try out any number of colour mixing and painting exercises before you undertake the main painting lesson of the package.

Today’s main menu
Before I serve up the main “dish of the day”, join me for a quick chat about the rules of composition, how that has been simplified over the centuries, and how it is applied in an actual landscape painting – it will also help you take better photographs.
Then grab your paints and brushes again and enjoy the main course of our taster programme as you create an atmospheric landscape painting by working alongside me as I show and explain it to you step-by-step.
Using the same format as we do in the main programme, you will get close-up videos of the painting as it is being created so that you can watch and follow it as you create your own unique work of art.
