Chuck’s secret for a strong start? Shapes … big shapes! He’ll show you how to build a solid composition in a few simple steps with a few simple values. A good start will give you confidence and freedom to joyfully develop the rest of your painting.

 

In this video, you’ll see how any scene can be a great subject for a great painting. It’s not about all the details you’re actually seeing with your eyes. It’s about how you embrace opportunities for the big shapes, values, and composition that any scene offers.

Watch as Chuck quickly creates a thumbnail value study that will determine the starting place to design his demonstration painting. You might not think that a simple set of gray markers could simplify your life and your painting, but Chuck proves it to be true!

 

If composition is as challenging for you as it is for most landscape painters, then good planning is the key. Discover how a good plan and a good design will inform the rest of your painting right down to the last brushstroke.

Chuck knew he was going to be an artist from a very early age. He spent hours each day sketching images of fields, hillsides, and animals he would see while roaming the countryside. 

 

He studied at the Art Institute of Cincinnati before moving to study at the California Art Institute. His art career includes many years as an illustrator and graphic designer as well as his finely honed skills in fine art. 

 

Nationally recognized, Chuck participates in many plein air events such as the Plein Air Convention & Expo (PACE), Olmsted Plein Air Invitational, Door County Plein Air, and the Great American Paint Out.

Nope, this is not one of those tricky riddles!

 

If you want your landscapes to look more realistic, you’ll do what Chuck does!

 

He’s not only a master of foliage color, he’s a master of foliage color temperature. As the “King of Greens,” he’ll unlock the mysteries of color temperature shifts and show you how they dramatically impact your artwork (you might just amaze yourself on your next painting!).

With this video, you’ll be inspired by Chuck Marshall’s award-winning approach. And you’ll never look at a landscape the same way again because you’ll know how to simplify from start to finish and achieve the success you seek.
