Impressionist Landscape Painting – George Gallo
Video Length: 3 hours, 8 minutes
Through this riveting course, you’ll discover practical techniques and gain valuable tips that will enhance any painting style you want to master. Gallo explores such themes as:
- The interaction of secondary colors — orange, green, and purple — which is the basis of all impressionistic painting
- The way to create lively color mixes by using the secondary-color interaction to get paintings to vibrate like the impressionist masters
- Using atmospheric perspective
- Creating a sense of depth
- The importance of happy accidents. As Gallo states, “There are a lot of happy accidents in painting, if you’re doing it properly. If you don’t have happy accidents, then you’re just painting by formula.”
- Achieving a better understanding of color and design
- Tricks to make the light “shine” through — the essence of impressionism — such as layering heavier paint, which captures, then indicates, light as the layers provide a more substantial reflection
And much, much more!
The Importance of Impressionism
Impressionism is the birth of light in painting. The magic behind the science of art. The expression of a feeling, not an image.
When you take the lines out of nature, the result is areas of color leaning against one another. This is the essence of impressionism.
While the concept sounds easy, creating an exquisite, meaningful work of impressionistic landscape art — that which invokes emotions, visual connections, and a sense of place — is not without its challenges. Perfecting the art of impressionism means understanding the right hues, creating color harmony, balancing the composition, and mastering brushstrokes.

About the Artist: George Gallo
To bring you the valuable techniques behind creating notable impressionist landscapes, we knew we needed a true master, and we found him with the renowned painter, author, and film writer/director/producer George Gallo.
As a teenager, Gallo studied landscape painting with internationally distinguished artist George Cherepov. Although he is a winner of multiple awards — including the coveted Arts for the Parks Award — is included in numerous collections, and has had three one-man exhibitions in New York City, Gallo’s goal is to make this exceptional art form accessible to everyone. And he is uniquely qualified to present this subject to our audience, with honest, straightforward, unpretentious, and clear lessons for approaching landscape painting.
“Don’t always just go out and paint. Just go out to the woods, or what you’re interested in painting, and just sit and look at it. Paint the entire painting in your head. Painting is more a mental process than anything. Really look at things. Don’t assume anything.”
— George Gallo
