Not sure where to begin?
I recommend beginning with Mastering the Fundamentals of Landscape Painting. This online course lays the foundation for everything I teach, giving you the essential tools and techniques you’ll use throughout your painting journey. For many, MFLP fills in the gaps in their art education. You'll also learn my modern approach to classical painting.
After that, elevate your color mixing skills with Painting Realistic Landscapes with a Limited Palette.
Together, these two courses give you a strong foundation for painting with greater clarity, confidence, and control. No matter what landscape subject you want to tackle next.

HERE'S WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING...
"I found the course very useful, particularly all the resources that were provided. I have studied art for many years but what was missing was the application of paint in particular, your explanations of the imprimatura stage and process, and colour selection.
I go back to the course and do a refresh when I start a new painting. Many thanks, your generous teaching has been extremely helpful."
—Belinda W., artist
"Having painted for a few years without much guidance it was amazing to have access to such detailed explanations. Layne takes you step-by-step with stunning visuals of the canvas coming to life (and the palette becoming messier!) set to narration and relaxing music. It was a pleasure to complete the course over months – setting up my painting gear with a cup of tea and blocking off an hour or two to paint the next stage. I know that I will come back to this video in the future and discover new learning points. I can't wait for more!"
—Toby M., artist
"As with the other courses, this was outstanding! From the layout of the course to the information in the course.
I have taken other courses but yours are one of the best. Not everybody has teaching down cold but you do. I learned a lot and most important I had fun."
—Maria S., artist
