About This Class
Immerse yourself in the beauty of impressionist landscape painting through the captivating technique of pointillism. In this two-day, hands-on workshop, John Milan will guide you step by step in building a vibrant landscape using carefully layered dots of color—bringing light, atmosphere, and depth to life on your canvas.
On Day One, you’ll begin your painting in acrylics, focusing on composition, color placement, and foundational pointillist techniques. This fast-drying medium allows you to establish your structure and rhythm with confidence.
On Day Two, you’ll transition into oils, learning how to enhance your piece with richer color, subtle blending, and luminous depth. This final stage transforms your initial layer into a dynamic, finished landscape full of movement and light.
Designed for a wide range of skill levels, this class breaks down the pointillist process into approachable steps while encouraging creativity and personal expression.
What You’ll Learn:
- Fundamentals of traditional impressionist landscape painting
