Expansive landscapes

Using oils & cold wax

Step inside the studio for a behind-the-scenes journey from first mark to finished surface, and experience painting as it truly unfolds — intuitive, responsive, and evolving in real time as large-scale landscapes emerge through layering, risk, revision, and discovery.

This immersive course offers a rare opportunity to follow two large-scale landscape paintings from blank panel to resolved surface. There’s no rigid formula, no pre-planned roadmap. Instead, you’ll witness the authentic rhythm of studio practice: layering, scraping, lifting, reworking, reconsidering, and refining.

You’ll see how decisions are made in the moment — how compositions shift, how problems are solved, and how risk and revision shape the final outcome.

 

 

What You’ll Experience

  • Start-to-finish demonstrations of two large-scale landscape paintings

  • An over-the-shoulder view of real-time studio practice in oils and cold wax

  • Insight into intuitive decision-making and compositional problem-solving

  • Techniques for layering, scraping, lifting, and building surface depth

  • Approaches to atmosphere, scale, and sustaining energy across a large panel

  • Honest moments of doubt, adjustment, and breakthrough — and why they matter

 

 

A Real Studio Experience

My process is guided by presence and intuition. I respond to the surface, to emerging marks, and to the shifting balance of the composition as it develops. Decisions aren’t scripted — they’re discovered.

 

 

This isn’t a step-by-step tutorial. It’s an honest, immersive look at professional studio practice — where paintings evolve through instinct, observation, and courage.

If you’re ready to deepen your understanding of scale, strengthen your compositions, and trust your own creative judgement, this course will give you invaluable insight into what truly happens behind the scenes.

Enrol today and begin creating landscapes filled with depth, light, and atmosphere.
