Welcome to this acrylic landscapes course level one where you will learn how to paint this simple landscape using just three primary colors and a painting knife. Hello, my name is Gerald and I'll be leading you through this course. I was a lecturer for six years at the School of Art Design and media with the West Australian department of training. And I've been painting landscapes and abstracts in oils, acrylics, and pastors for many years. I've also run many landscape and abstract workshops for groups, couples, and individuals. I've created this course for students who want to learn to paint impressionist style landscapes without getting bogged down into doing lots of fine detail.

Students who are new to landscape painting can often fall into the trap of you using small brushes, and this can lead into painting that look tight and controlled. This is where the painting knife can really help. I'll be covering the primary colors you'll need some basic materials, and I'll be demonstrating the painting knife technique for mixing and applying the paint to your canvas. The ideal student for this course is a beginner starting their journey into landscape painting, or maybe a student with some previous experience who has become frustrated because they're using just too many colors and that paintings aren't working. There are no requirements necessary to enroll just come with an open mind. Bring your enthusiasm and enjoy this fun and creative process.

Have a look at the course description. Watch the next introduction video, and I look forward to helping you get started.
