  • You've painted some landscapes before but you still struggle to create a convincing sense of landscape space. 

  • You've painted other things as well but somehow this subject presents its own challenges and that makes you feel stuck without achieving the depth and form you expected in your landscape.

  • You can't quite understand how to establish enough contrast between the land and the sky and don't know how to make objects recede and advance.

Understanding values and value relationships and learning how to implement essential principles and techniques is how you’ll take your landscape painting to the next level!

You know you want to get better at creating the illusion of depth and form in your painting.

You also want to give your work a fresh and painterly look.

You already know that the best way to improve your skills to do that is by understanding the core principles and techniques necessary to represent space and depth in landscape.

You're so eager to get your brushes out and paint that stunning landscape before you but you have so many questions!

  • How can I maintain a convincing sense of space on my subject?

  • How can I interpret value?

  • How can I paint without being overwhelmed by all the richness and detail of nature?

  • How to represent the effects of light?

  • Why is my painting looking flat?

  • Why can I not replicate all the tones as seen in nature?

  • How to bring a loose, painterly look into my painting?

  • How to make mountains recede in the distance?

  • How can I bring some objects forward?

  • Why am I not getting my tones right?

  • How should I start my painting? What should I paint first?

I know - there are so many questions that you feel overwhelmed and stuck when it comes to painting a landscape.

And even confusion with all the information that's available nowadays - and most times you don't learn how to implement that knowledge in your painting. 

With Value & Value Relationships in Landscape™, you'll learn step-by-step how to improve the sense of space, form and depth in your landscape so that you can create the stunning landscape paintings you've always dreamed of. 

This course is divided into two parts:

Part One

  • In the first part of this course, you’ll learn the core concepts of value & value relationships and how they form in landscape. 

  • You'll discover how to use key concepts like plane differentiation, value divisions and the theory of angles to relate and modulate values more easily and successfully. That will also teach you how to paint faster and more loosely.

  • You'll do six exercises, in different techniques, to get better at understanding and representing form and depth through tonal values.

Part Two

  • Part Two pushes you into the next level to build your skills to relate value to colour.

  • I've developed a Value-Colour Palette System that teaches you how to work with a simple but strong value structure which is based on the value divisions of your subject.

  • You’ll learn how to use this system to relate value to colour and broaden your full-colour palette without losing coherence.

  • You will have access to my colour diagrams, palette systems, templates and other visuals that have been designed specifically for this course!

  • You'll discover how to apply the core concepts to represent form and depth through value and colour. And you can repeat this method again and again to any landscape painting you create. 

The total running time of Part One and Part Two is 4 (four) hours.

Meet Your Instructor

My name is Livia Dias and I've had a passion for painting from a very young age. I've been a professional artist and art tutor since 2000. Painting and helping people discover their potential, develop their skills to paint and create works of art that they are proud of are my passion.

I started my training with my uncle, who is a professional artist and runs an art school in Brazil. From him, I learned the fundamentals of painting. That is one of the most important skills a painter should develop if they want to take their painting to the next level. From Old Masters to Impressionism and Contemporary styles, I had the opportunity to learn a variety of media and techniques along my career that have provided me with a good foundation and experience to share with my students.

After ten years teaching in my home country Brazil, where I completed my training in art, I decided to quit my Art Tutor position in 2009 and experience life overseas. After researching some destinations, I fell in love with pictures of New Zealand's stunning scenery. My husband and I packed our bags and bikes and off we went to New Zealand.

This was a bold move! It changed everything in our lives and set me on the path I am today - painting, selling my art through galleries and my website and helping people discover their potential, develop their skills to paint and create works of art that they are proud of.

I am so grateful to see my students growing in their art and amazed on how popular and sought after my classes have become along all these years.

Nowadays I have my own studio in New Zealand where I run workshops and work on my own art and online business.

And guess what, the #1 thing I've learned throughout this entire journey is that you don't need to be born a genius or have a professional art degree to change your life and follow your creative passions. You need to have a strong desire to learn and practice what you've learned to get better and better. Being an artist is a journey and once you understand the fundamentals of painting in depth, the sky is the limit as far as what you can achieve. And that right there is what inspired me to create online courses to help aspiring artists develop their skills to paint better and grow in their creative pursuit.

I hope you're as excited as I am for you to begin this painterly journey!
