What You Will Learn In This Course

A complete step-by-step course with over 11 hours of lessons and over 50 videos

This course is part of a complete training program designed to build strong skills

Getting Started

 Learn how to choose the right brushes, colors and materials without wasting money. You will also discover a simple technique to create an accurate drawing before painting — even if you don't know how to draw — and practical tips to progress efficiently even with limited time.

Painting the Elements of a Landscape

Start with simple studies to understand the key elements of landscape painting.

Paint a blue sky with soft clouds, then a cypress tree to work on natural greens and dense foliage, and finally a full tree to practice richer colors and more dynamic leaves.

Painting a Misty Forest Landscape

In this demonstration you will paint a forest emerging from the mist, learning how to create depth, soft transitions and atmospheric perspective.
You will also see how fog transforms colors and contrasts, a key principle for creating convincing atmospheric landscapes.

Painting a Field and Distant Trees

This landscape teaches you how to paint vibrant green fields and trees in the distance, while working on natural color variations and depth.
You will also learn how to paint fine grass details and a soft blue sky with subtle clouds, bringing life and realism to a simple landscape.

Painting Two Seascapes : Calm and Dynamic Waters

First, you will paint a calm deep blue sea to understand reflections, smooth transitions and subtle movement in the water.

Then, a more dramatic seascape with waves, foam and a threatening sky, where you will mix blue and green tones while learning to capture the energy and motion of the ocean.

Painting a Sunset Over the Sea

This demonstration focuses on warm sunset light reflected on the water, helping you understand color harmony and atmospheric glow.
You will also explore the rich variety of warm colors in a sunset sky, learning how to balance them to create a vibrant and realistic atmosphere.

Painting a Snowy Mountain Landscape

You will paint a snowy mountain with visible rocks, learning how to mix subtle whites, blues and grays to create convincing light and texture.
This exercise also teaches how to paint snow realistically while maintaining strong contrasts and structure.

Painting a Mountain Lake Landscape - Final Painting

This final painting brings everything together: a turquoise lake, majestic mountains, a distant forest and a vibrant field of flowers.
You will combine all the techniques learned throughout the course — color harmony, atmospheric depth and natural textures.
It is the perfect opportunity to create a rich and complete landscape that showcases your new painting skills.

An Oil Painting Course You Can Also Follow With Acrylic

Even though the course is taught using oil painting, it is fully adapted to acrylic painting. The essential fundamentals are the same: color, volume, light, composition, precision of gesture, and more.

From the very beginning of the program, a specific pathway allows students who paint with acrylics to easily adapt the materials, mediums, and drying times.

As a result, you can follow the entire course using acrylic paint and progress with the same fundamentals, just as many students already do with excellent results.
