Landscape artists REJOICE!

Have you ever asked yourself: “How does one recognize or introduce emotion into a scene? Is it bright colors, strong value contrasts, or what?”

If so, good news for you.

You can now solve two vexing problems in landscape painting:

1. How to convey emotions in your landscape that feel natural
2. How to paint landscapes filled with emotions when working from “lifeless” photos

Conveying emotions may be tricky, even frustrating for some.

After all, there’s no such thing as tubes of paint called “Tranquility,” “Drama,” or “Peace”...

It comes down to you to figure out the right mix of colors, the correct techniques, and many other factors to convey the emotion you want.

And painting from “lifeless” photos is difficult, because no camera can capture what you experience when you’re in nature.

Those problems will vex you no more…

A renowned master artist has developed a 7-step “emotion-first” landscape painting process anyone can follow.

He’s also going to show you the best way to extract emotions from “lifeless” photos.

Painting in the comfort of your studio without sacrificing the scene’s nature-given qualities has never been easier.

The master artist is none other than John MacDonald.

He’s going to reveal various tools and techniques to help you create the perfect emotion that fits the vision of your painting.

And thanks to his experience as a certified creative coach, he’ll also help you expand your creative mind so you’ll have access to an infinite number of painting ideas.

Artists of all levels will get a lot out of this best-seller.

Beginners can quickly get up to speed to paint gorgeous landscapes by using John’s fail-proof method, and veteran artists will find tips and insights that will elevate their paintings further.

If you're looking to master landscape painting, you can’t go wrong with this treasure trove of knowledge.

“Excellent content, structure, and delivery of instruction. He explains in a step-by-step process how to build a painting from the first mark to the last detail. 

“I had at least three takeaways that I’ve already adapted and started using, and I believe my painting is already better and I am enjoying it more. 

“I started using his recommendations on tonality, I’ve adopted his palette, and I’ve slowed down my process. A great instructor and painter.”

– Craig Gunn

John teaches differently from any other artist. 

That’s because John is a certified creative coach.

He has an amazing ability to impart his knowledge to students and turn them into amazing landscape artists.

He patiently describes everything for complete understanding, unlike some instructors who seem to miss out on certain elements and expect students to fill in the blanks themselves.

Besides being an amazing instructor, he’s also a master landscape artist.

He’s been painting for over 20 years and has won awards from Print Magazine and had his work appear in the Society of Illustrators Annual Exhibition.

John grew up in Lafayette, Indiana, and attended Washington University in St. Louis, where he received a BFA in 1979. 

In 1982 he received an MA degree in drawing and painting from Purdue University.

Since the late 2000s, he has been painting full time. His paintings can be found in private, corporate, and museum collections throughout North America.

He also has professional memberships, including the Society of Illustrators, the Illustrators Partnership of America, the National Association of Plein Air Painters, the Graphic Artists Guild, Oil Painters of America, and the American Tonalist Society.

Combining his painting experience and abilities as a creative coach, John may just be the perfect landscape instructor you’ve been looking for!

“John MacDonald is a wonderful painter, mostly in a Tonalist style. 

“This video is a joy to watch as John not only teaches sound painting theory and practice, but shares his own process and his thoughts about that process as he paints. 

“He shows us not only what paint he puts down, but why he chose that paint and why it works based on value, temperature, and saturation. I don’t want to just see a painting demonstration. I want to be in that painter’s head. John thinks out loud, and to me, that is very valuable. Get the video.”

– Ann

“John is one of the best instructors I have ever encountered. This is a real bonus for any aspiring plein air painter.

“This is a one-time opportunity for any artist wanting to better understand the process of seeing, interpreting, and painting with a solid body of knowledge.”

– Mimi Whitney-Hafft

Inside this value-packed video, John MacDonald is going to reveal everything there is to know for you to paint landscapes full of emotion and stories.

He’ll show you the complete 7-step “emotion-first” process to painting landscapes that viewers will love.

You’ll also discover in-depth lessons on composition, value structure, color relationships, edge contrasts, details, and so much more — giving you a firm understanding of what’s behind every successful painting.

Plus, John will share invaluable tips on how to create interest and luminosity, and many other insights that will transform your landscape paintings.

If you prefer to paint from photos, John will share tips on how to “extract” emotions from them without having to be in nature.

There’s a reason this best-seller is called Poetic Landscapes — check out below for reviews from artists just like you!

Here’s Geoff Wittig:

“I have taken several workshops with John MacDonald, and I can confirm that this is exactly how he teaches in person. 

“He beautifully lays out a logical system for constructing a painting from sketches and reference photos. 

“From the initial composition and design of the value structure to the monochrome underpainting to the application of color, this video walks you through the process. 

“With every brushstroke, you are taught to analyze: did that help or hurt the painting? 

“John teaches you to recognize and correct mistakes before you're so far off track it’s hard to find your way back. 

“He also teaches you to ‘go faster by slowing down’ – carefully considering every brushstroke so you progress smoothly to completion, rather than rushing and spending tedious hours undoing the damage.”

Here’s Roeland van Reem:

“His explanation and enthusiasm are very inspiring. 

“I have a lot of demo DVDs, and they are all wonderful painters. But when it comes to clearly explaining what and why they are doing their stuff, John is one of the best teachers, if not the best. The painting demonstrated in Poetic Landscapes is a lovely snow landscape, and it’s great to see it build up.”

And here’s Michelle Frey:

“This is a very well-organized, concise lesson covering everything from composition through values, edges, color and details, working with photos, what to get from your plein air experiences. 

“John’s knowledge about how to create interest and luminosity is invaluable, and he delivers it all in a very clear fashion, while painting an absolute masterpiece. 

“It’s a truly full course. I’ve watched it twice and I’ll go back to it throughout my life, I’m sure.”

Here’s the masterpiece

What You’ll Learn in John MacDonald’s Poetic Landscapes

Discover the Simplified 7-Step Process to Painting Poetic Landscapes

Few find painting landscapes easy.

And even fewer know how to inject emotions into a scene.

But if you follow John’s 7-step process, it’s almost guaranteed that you’ll produce a beautiful landscape scene — because John is going to pull back the curtain on what actually makes an “emotion-first” painting.

With this process, John removes the frustration and confusion so you can focus on more important things, like the mood you want to capture, the message you want to send, and the emotion you want to evoke.

If you’ve been wondering how John can create such brilliant pieces of art, you must watch his process.

Boost Your Creative Power With a Certified Creative Coach

Studying with John will not only improve your landscape paintings, you’ll also improve your creative power.

Artists sometimes experience “painter’s block” (or artist’s block) ... the inability to access one’s internal creativity. It can last for days, weeks, months, or even years.

As a creative coach, John will help you expand the possibilities of what you can do by showing various ways to approach a problem.

He’s going to open your eyes to see outside the box. After all, we don’t know what we don’t know!

Once you’ve seen the possibilities you may have missed out on, you’ll have a constant flood of ideas to paint even more attention-grabbing landscapes!

informative.

P.S. You can feel the excitement reading through John’s Poetic Landscapes reviews. Here are a few more…

“Other ‘how to’ videos are sometimes inspiring, but most I’ve purchased really don’t show much about how the artist goes about their craft. For example, while they usually do give the palette worked with, you only see little blips of how the colors are used. 

“This video is the best. If you want to see how John goes about his work and get some great food for thought about the craft of painting, buy this video.” 

– Brian M. Smith

“Although I haven't finished viewing this video, I am finding it one of the best and most informative videos I have ever purchased. It is nothing short of excellent. Already I am wanting to watch segments again. I highly recommend this video. 

“It is answering a lot of questions with aha moments and has already given me so much more confidence for my approach and execution of future paintings. I wish I had this video 10 years ago. 

“I have been to art instructors, week-long art schools, art groups, and own lots of art books and videos, but in the first half of the video alone, I have learned more than in all the others combined. 

“John MacDonald explains everything so well, and his voice is really easy to listen to. It is also refreshing to see that he too makes mistakes and wrong decisions – but shows you how and why to correct them, explaining the whole time the consequences it will impact on your painting if it is not corrected. I can’t speak highly enough of John’s video.”

– Lorraine Cross

“This video is absolutely first rate! 

“Here’s what I feel lifts it far above most painting videos. John thinks out loud, telling us what he feels is the next step, how to choose the colors and mix them. Sometimes he confesses a choice doesn’t quite have the hue or value he is after, and we see how to correct such things. 

“From the organizing of the composition of the painting … on through colors, values, and edges, this is a fine demonstration by a master artist.”

– Earl Davis

“He gives a lot of great information and communicates so you can understand it. These instructional videos have saved me years of trial and error. Keeps me moving forward, and I’m not held back by my lack of knowledge. I can paint, paint, paint!”

– William Goodman

I'd prefer the DVD

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.
