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.
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?
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 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.

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.
