If you want to create paintings that instantly grab people’s attention and draw them in without any fuss or struggle...
If you want to look at the landscape and know right away how to transform it into a painting that looks right, feels right, and makes people stop in their tracks and do a double take…
Then keep reading, because you’re about to discover a way to create beautiful designs for your paintings that removes all the guesswork…
And it’s a method that’s so easy to follow that it almost feels like “cheating”...
In fact…
This is the exact method that even pros have found themselves coming back to time and time again when they feel stuck…
You see…
Many artists will choose subject matter because it speaks to and inspires them on an emotional level, but often they give no consideration to how to actually compose the elements when it comes to design…
This ultimately sabotages their ability to create a successful painting right from the start, and leaves them feeling frustrated or discouraged…
But today you get to leave that headache behind for good and save MASSIVE amounts of time…
Because you’re getting access to proven “templates” you can easily follow to quickly create winning designs every time, which means you’re on the road to creating winning paintings too!
Even if you have zero experience in coming up with good designs, these templates will help you set the foundations for eye-grabbing paintings.
This can be key to creating art that ends up in galleries or becomes sales-worthy for you!
There’s no more worrying about struggling with trial and error…
There’s no more spending hours studying and analyzing great works of art and looking at a scene, trying to move this or that … or even worse … guessing at what might work well in the painting…
"Very rarely does nature set up the perfect design for your landscape paintings."
— Kyle Buckland
Now, you can skip that stage and go straight to what works.
This simple approach to designing can save you countless hours of “figuring it out.”

— Kyle Buckland

Though you can observe the techniques of any artist instantly by watching them demonstrate and by watching the videos repeatedly, please know that, though many artists offer insights that can help people overcome a lot of learning time, every artist learns at their own speed based on their own level of understanding. Painting and drawing bring great joy, though the joy may come from practicing various techniques over and over until you master them. We do not wish to indicate that you, or anyone, can skip the joy of practice and the challenges of getting better. Painting is a lifetime endeavor, and getting good does not typically happen rapidly, or instantly. Your results may vary. And please know that if at any time within 30 days you feel this video has not lived up to your expectations or its promise, we will happily refund your money.
