just a little time creating a color wheel with different shades mixed from these colors, you can refer to it over and over and always “find your way” to the right color for anything in your work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of the shades in your painting will create a sense of harmony because they’re derived from the same primary colors. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo if you take the time to learn the fundamentals of working with a limited palette, you can mix and paint with colors in a much more masterful way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn fact, it’s no exaggeration to say

recognition in galleries across the US, she now focuses more on “contemporary life” paintings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile she enjoys plein air work, she also loves painting in the studio, where she works from a photograph.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you do this yourself, you’ll save an enormous amount of time because instead of having to stay outdoors to finish your painting, all you do is take a photo…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBring your camera back home (or to your studio)…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen simply start painting based on the photo!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s extremely convenient and there are many advantages painting this way as opposed to plein air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs you might have guessed, it’s this type of painting you’ll be learning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough before you think this is just a “follow along” sort of training, think again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s much more than that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause Nancy talks you through everything she does and explains why she does

So often painters are using their bodies to paint — arms, wrist, eyes — but they are locked in their head and they forget that painting is an integration of body, mind, observation, and an individual’s creative spirit. Bill’s approach to painting gives one the tools for that integration.

He’s had struggles with different aspects of the painting process, but Bill worked through them. And he conveys how that happened for him, then Bill gives you those tools so you can approach painting with more confidence, freedom to explore, and what’s best is that you can start to make painting more fun.

You can learn at your own pace, at home, and pause and replay to your heart's content!

These paintings centered on depictions of the Hudson River Valley and the surrounding areas of the Catskills, Adirondacks, and White Mountains.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis artwork reflected three themes of the time: discovery, exploration, and settlement — in classic American landscapes where nature and humans existed as one. These paintings were expertly detailed and awe-inspiring in a time of waning ruggedness and natural beauty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter finding autumn in upstate New York to be brilliant and inspirational, Thomas Cole founded the Hudson River School, where painters such as Frederic Church, Sanford Gifford, and Asher B. Durand would take their inspiration from European painters to capture America's natural beauty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOver time, the unique methods these artists employed were mostly forgotten and not passed on to younger generations of artists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eand now, as we come back to the present time, there are still very few artists who know about or use the secrets of the Hudson River School masters in their own artwork.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of today's top artists, however, has made it his life's mission to seek out, study, practice, incorporate, and teach the once-lost methods of these great painters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaint Like a Hudson River School Master\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStreamline Art Video is proud to partner with master artist Erik Koeppel in presenting the newest art instruction video in the Techniques of the Hudson River School Masters series. Three years in the making, the second in this series will take you on an even deeper journey into how these painters captured the landscape in a way that no other painters have since — the realistic details of the terrain, movement of the water, reflections, and how the land and sky meet and interact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eErik is a gifted painter and instructor who is passionate about teaching the Hudson River School techniques.
