Take a lesson in painting from the Provence area of France while relaxing in the comfort of your painting studio or living room. Join John Michael Carter as he clearly, and at length, explains what draws him to a subject and how to concentrate on essential elements, while editing the scene to give it more impact.

He shares his extensive plein air painting experience and knowledge by using a photo and computer image to first make a sketch and then proceeds to direct painting, the same technique he would use on-location. He provides excellent instruction during the development of the painting while he first makes a sketch, then shows how to create the darker elements before concentrating on the warm & cool color considerations.

He quickly lays the painting in using “pieces of paint” to tie the areas together and establish basic value patterns, then refines the images while emphasizing shapes.

Join John Michael while he demonstrates and explains how to do a masterful, architectural landscape from a photograph, while using plein air methods."

John Michael Carter: Balcony with Roses

Brilliant...A clearer start to finish in oils that if practiced brings you closer to realism and complexity....well worth the price and viewing... He makes mixing in a clear concise manner as he moves along and it doesnt feel like lecture and learning.. "PIECES OF PAINT" this idea gave full clarity of "value" So happy I bought this from Paint Tube..I will be rewatching many many areas of this! Amazing instruction ! Thank you John Michael Carter for making this video available to us!

Another wonderful video!

This was the second video I purchased showing John Michael Carter once again demonstrating how a true professional artist goes about his craft in a no-nonsense, easy to understand manner. His explanations about what and how he plans out and executes the painting are some of the best I've heard to date. I would love to find other painting demonstrations by this extremely talented man.
