Sound difficult? It’s not!
Joe creates a demo fully en plein air and then takes that study into the studio to build a studio painting, complete with layers of glazing.
You can paint along with this step-by-step painting tutorial to learn how to paint a breathtaking landscape scene using Joe’s most powerful painting techniques — the techniques he has developed over decades of painting.
It’s time for Joseph McGurl to pass down his techniques from master to apprentice.
You’d be surprised at the number of established professional painters who turn to McGurl for instruction to take their already high-quality work to the highest levels.
He will show how to use information gathered on location and apply it to a large studio piece. His plein air study technique is unique and uses tools that will help make your drawing almost perfect.
You don’t need to be an experienced painter to learn how to do this.
And you don’t have to have talent to paint. That comes from training.
In fact, in the words of our publisher, B. Eric Rhoads, if you can follow a recipe and bake a cake, you can learn to paint. Because painting is a process.
This training is right for you if:
- You love the idea of creating stunning landscape paintings
- You want to understand the techniques that make Joe McGurl one of the most sought-after and collectable painters in America
- You’re a beginner, intermediate, or even professional painter and you want to improve your technique significantly
