What you will learn each week:

Week 1 - Foundations of Artistic Growth
(Essential for First Time Attendees)

Week 1 focuses on developing a strong understanding of the essential building blocks of great art, but is more than just a fundamentals class. You will:

  • Learn how to master Value, Color, and Design Principles in your paintings
  • Learn John's 4 step system to create more intentional and impactful paintings
  • Develop skills to create paintings that feel cohesive and dynamic.
  • Learn how to train your eye to recognize relationships in nature, including shape, color, and depth.

This week equips you with practical tools and techniques that propel you toward noticeable progress in your art, setting you on the path to more confident and inspirational creations.


Week 2 - Working En Plein Air

Week 2 takes your skills to the next level by applying the fundamentals of Value, Color, and Design to the ever-changing challenges of outdoor painting. This week offers a hands-on, immersive experience that will change the way you approach plein air landscapes.

What makes Week 2 invaluable:

  • Focused Four-Step System: Learn John’s proven shorthand method for quickly organizing your canvas.
  • Real-World Application: Gain the skills to capture light and atmosphere in ever-changing outdoor conditions.
  • Streamlined Process: Discover techniques to simplify complex scenes, helping you paint with clarity and purpose.
  • Personalized Guidance: Work closely with John in a real-world setting, receiving tips and feedback that are directly relevant to your unique challenges.

This immersive week en plein air will not only enhance your outdoor painting skills, it will profoundly affect your sense for light and atmosphere in your studio work.


Week 3 - From Field to Gallery

Week 3 will focus on learning how to develop studio quality pieces from start to finish, with an opportunity to work in a larger format. This week, John will demonstrate and guide you on how to:

  • Develop studio pieces
  • Work in larger formats for gallery-quality paintings
  • Show you how to refine and rework for professional results

As is often the case, larger paintings done in the studio are not simply larger versions of their outdoor sketches. Along with size increases, specific considerations of paint application, edges, and shape must be understood more fully. These nuances will be discussed and demonstrated to give increased understanding in this area. 

What past students say about John's 3-week Intensive

James C

"The way John teaches design changed how I see and paint. This was the hardest part of art, and now I finally get it."

Nicole K.

"It is hard for me to look at anything and NOT see in terms of shape, value, color temperature, saturation and relative distance. I now feel more confident as the piece evolves."
