Have you ever wished you possessed the secret techniques the masters use so you could create your own gallery-quality composition? Well, if you're an aspiring landscape artist, you already know that talent and technique usually come at quite a time-consuming AND costly price... ...a price that a lot of people simply aren't able to pay these days! That's because most of us have careers, families, and other obligations that take up most of our time... ...and the expense of traveling around the world from workshop to workshop is hefty, to say the least. However... What if you could get exclusive access to your own affordable private course with an award-winning professional landscape artist? What if you could go back to this course and refer to it over and over again? Think about it: One-on-one instruction from an expert who can show you all the best techniques that the very best landscape painters in the world use in their work... ...a proven teacher who can build your confidence and skills as an artist... ...with training you can go back to for guidance and direction. How would that change things for you and your work? Here's something you may not realize: The difference between a mediocre landscape artist and a truly great one is NOT raw talent or effort(or even desire)... ...it's the quality of instruction they receive! This is the "game changer" for artists. THIS is how you can learn, step by step, to take that sweeping mountain range, the vast desert canyon, or the sun-splashed oceanfront and create a breathtaking work of art. In Kathleen's own words: "The landscape has always been my chief source of artistic inspiration. I love to capture sweeping vistas of rugged terrain, shimmering waves, and dramatic atmospherics. My paintings represent specific places and moments in time: the brief point during a sunrise when the sun fills the air with an ethereal golden glow...a break in a storm where light pierces through heavy clouds or the sight of glacial runoff sending waterfalls down the side of a mountain wreathed in fog." When Kathleen attended the 2017 Plein Air Convention in San Diego, she got the opportunity to paint one of the most famous seashore scenes in the world: the California coastline. And it's this stunning piece of work Hudson uses in her all-new instructional video ... where she shares all of her incredible techniques. Recording every single step, Hudson has taken all of her landscape painting knowledge and techniques and placed them in a brand new video collection.   Clouds and Distance Paint along with Kathleen: Go ahead … paint that complicated landscape scene!
