One of the biggest challenges among artists is not being able to accurately express the mood of their vision on the canvas.

The emotion you feel when looking at a painting that has captured the “atmosphere” or tone is what makes a painting both memorable and impactful. 

People connect with art that reflects their feelings or transports them somewhere. This is why people love art. It’s why they buy art. And it’s why collectors want to have a piece of art in their homes. 

A great painting moves people.

That means you’re not simply painting a scene…

…you’re painting an experience that stirs up emotions. 

Now, the trouble is getting the mood right… 

…but there’s a simple way to solve this seemingly tricky task.

Internationally renowned artist John Pototschnik is going to share with you how to enhance the mood of any of your paintings with one simple shift that most artists get wrong.

Discover how to translate a monochromatic underpainting into this full-color work of art!

It’s the “Monochromatic Secret” to emotionally moving, soul-stirring paintings.

According to John, it is VALUE that establishes the mood of a painting, and color enhances it.

“Value creates the mood of a painting, not color!” 

— John Pototschnik

Once you’ve seen John Pototschnik’s comprehensive demonstration of this concept, you’ll have clarity on how to create stronger and emotionally impactful paintings — no matter the medium, scene, or subject!

Just as it did for John many years ago, this incredible lesson will give you an almost immediate improvement in your paintings.

Before we get into the details of what John is sharing, let’s get to know him a little better!

What John Pototschnik Will Share Inside 

Painting Values & Color

Monochromatic Painting: The Secret to Capturing Mood Accurately

From monochrome to full color…

John Pototschnik demonstrates the power of monochromatic painting as essential in creating impactful art.

He reveals how a solid monochromatic painting can help you portray the mood you want accurately before adding color. Once the mood is properly established, adding color will only enhance it!

You’ll notice that it’s easier to create the desired mood when you’re working only with values, without the complications of color. As the underlying foundation of any successful pro-level painting, this skill alone will transform your approach and allow you to create even deeper works of art.

Discover the “Value-First” Roadmap to Successful Painting

Diving into a painting without a clear plan often leads to disaster. John Pototschnik emphasizes the importance of working out a clear value structure before adding color. This acts as a roadmap, guiding your painting to success. 

This approach enhances your ability to mix color of the correct value, avoiding boring paintings that are colorful but “flat.” John’s distinctive limited-palette method makes color and color mixing more understandable, guaranteeing beautiful color harmony every time.

By focusing on value first to create mood and letting color follow, you’ll create paintings that capture the essence of your vision and resonate with viewers. 

It’s a revelation that will change how you approach painting forever.

Learn Tons of Paradigm-Shifting Painting Revelations

While most struggling artists focus on color, John Pototschnik suggests that prioritizing value first will have a far greater effect on the outcome of your paintings. Once you’ve seen John’s eye-opening demonstration and followed his insights, you’ll agree that unlocking value is the key to breakthrough improvements in your paintings. 

In this course, John is also going to show you how to use a simplified primary-color palette — another breakthrough that advanced his own painting to professional level. You’ll learn how to match the exact color seen in nature or a reference photo without using additional tubes of paint. This ensures strong color harmony in your painting every single time. John Pototschnik’s Painting Values & Color contains a lifetime of professional painting wisdom. You’ll want to watch it multiple times to soak up the many lessons!

PLANNING IS EVERYTHING!

“Mr. Pototschnik tells you everything you need to know to plan a painting. I’ve been told these things before but apparently needed to see and hear it one more time for it to make an impact. The other really big takeaway for me was how much (or little) paint he uses. He is precise and doesn’t waste. That’s because he has planned well and underpainted his painting to work out values and tweak details. My paints will last much longer now.”

— Barbara Bond

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“I was always anxious about adding color to my paintings as I felt I was ruining my underpaintings. But that was due to having on my palette too many color choices, and not only did color mixing become extremely complicated, but the result was often a lack of color harmony. 

“It is counterintuitive to think limiting yourself to using just 3 primaries will free you, but watching John, an excellent teacher, and learning his approach has been life-changing for me. 

“My paintings have color harmony, and color mixing has become significantly easier. This is a must-have for anyone wanting to learn about color, color mixing, and color harmony in their work. So thank you, John, for sharing your knowledge with us.”
