The Master Package includes three full length demonstrations. Each scene is eye-catching and uniquely challenging, but John will show you the key steps needed to compose each one with light and color. 

In Mountains and Glaciers John uses the exciting mountains of Norway to discuss his thoughts on creating the illusion of light and visual excitement through the effects of atmospheric perspective and form over form.  He shares how we can elevate our paintings through design and years of experience in studying the effect of light.  You will see how he achieves lyrical brushwork and subtle color manipulation to create a more painterly outcome. He will share how he builds upon value masses and bends form with temperature to establish a strong design with color harmony.

In Cypress of California he uses the opportunity to paint the beautiful cypress trees of the California Coast while discussing how to simplify a complex scene through grouping masses. When and how to look for rhythm and gesture in trees while keeping your brushwork painterly & lyrical and not stiff. See how he easily creates color notes in the correct value to develop a pattern that will engage the viewer. He shares his tips on how to keep focused, confident and always improving our observation skills.

In Pacific Blossom he captures the motion of the Pacific Ocean at sunset to discuss the beautiful effect of natural light on form through value, composition and subtle color manipulation. He shares how to create an illusion on different hard surfaces through intelligent edge control. He discusses key points in the painting process for what makes a strong design, when not to be dependent on reference and when to use our knowledge as a point of departure. You will see firsthand how he breaks down a difficult moving subject and creates poetry with paint. It's his signature of suggesting "more with less".

This complete package will provide you with the help and confidence needed to paint difficult subjects with ease and originality. These videos will surely inspire every artist no matter what your skill level.
