Storytelling with Landscapes

Discover An Award-Winning’s Artist Approach That Transforms Ordinary Landscapes Into Inspiring Paintings That Capture the Soul of the Scene

Do you know the number one SIN in landscape painting?

It’s how artists unknowingly sabotage their own work by approaching their paint application tentatively instead of with confidence.

According to renowned artist Aaron Schuerr, one of the biggest issues is that most artists are approaching their paint application tentatively, holding back instead of painting with confidence.

But Aaron’s approach goes far deeper than just paint application.

While most artists get overwhelmed trying to include every detail from their photos, Aaron has developed a storytelling method that helps you decide what belongs in your painting’s narrative and what doesn’t.

“I think of every painting as a story. A good storyteller sheds extraneous details and homes in on the salient points. Put simply, if it doesn’t add to the story, it must go.” — Aaron Schuerr

This isn’t about painting what the camera sees. 

It’s about painting what your heart experienced.

The result? 

Landscapes that seem to glow from within, filled with the kind of emotional depth that makes viewers stop in their tracks and say…

… “I want to be there.”

Aaron’s revealing it all in his brand new course, Storytelling with Landscapes.

Inside, you'll discover:

• Aaron Schuerr’s storytelling approach to editing landscapes that helps you decide what adds to your painting’s narrative and what must go — creating clarity and interest instead of cluttered, confusing compositions…

• His transfer technique using tracing paper that “allows you to be more relaxed, confident and spontaneous during painting — opening you up for fun during the painting process” ...
• How to “edit the landscape for clarity and interest” using a storyteller’s eye to eliminate everything that doesn’t serve your painting’s narrative…
• The “block in” method using “the biggest brush possible” and “plenty of paint” to create a foundation for confident mark-making…
• Why approaching your brushwork with intention rather than hesitation creates paintings that feel alive and purposeful instead of weak and tentative…
•  ...and so much more!’

When Aaron instructs, serious artists listen.

This is one for your library.
