Artist Kevin Macpherson is about to change the way you paint — and see — forever! And the best part … your paintings are going to improve.
The first in a new series of videos from Kevin, this video is going to immerse you in Kevin’s Magic Grid system so your painting life can become easier and more fun. With over 40 years of painting experience and as the author of four art books and several art instruction videos, Kevin is here to guide you through his painting process and take your art to the next level.
Find Painting Freedom — and Fun!
A master instructor, Kevin has an innate ability to simplify the painting process, and teach this process to the student. In this video he delivers a unique approach to teaching and learning how to paint using his Magic Grid method. With jokes along the way that go deeper than a belly laugh, Kevin’s humor is designed to teach lessons — you’ll find many an aha moment after a short chuckle!
Starting with a review of the fundamental elements of painting, Kevin then takes a dip into the benefits of the Magic Grid as he shares several of his paintings to reveal the structures underneath that contribute to the strength of each award-winning work of art.
From there he jumps into a series of exercises that will help you understand how to use and create your own Magic Grid. You’ll find the Magic Grid will simplify painting for you, making you aware of your strengths and weaknesses and making the whole process of painting so much easier, giving you freedom to go where you want with your art. “Think of the grid like a road trip,” Kevin says. “The smaller intersections you create on this grid are like interesting stops along the way to the final main destination. In this way, we engage the viewer throughout the canvas and lead them to the main point of interest.”
And, as an almost-two-for-one bonus, once you’ve learned how the Magic Grid works, you’ll follow Kevin outdoors to put the grid to use as you paint a figure in the landscape from life. Get ready to spend a pleasant day painting by the pond.
