Mini Landscapes

In this video lesson, you will learn to paint three beautiful mini landscapes featuring mountains, water, snow-covered hills, trees, and dramatic sunsets. Plus you'll get a free printable packet to paint a fun winter scene featuring kids sledding down rolling snowy hills.

Bali Ha'i

This painting was inspired by a trip to Bali Ha'i. The sunset with its gold hues in the sky and burgundy tones on the mountain was so beautiful. In this painting, you will learn to create a reflection in the ocean that encompasses all those bold colors.

"Snow Scene"

The colors of winter are much softer and with this video lesson, you'll learn to create snow-covered hills, pine trees, and a little bird perched on a broken barbed wire fence.

"Sunset"

Take your sunset painting skills to the next level. This painting features foliage, water, and a dramatic sunset.
