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
  • Pointillism techniques for building color and texture
  • How to layer acrylics as a strong foundation
  • Using oils to enhance vibrancy, depth, and cohesion
  • Creating light, atmosphere, and visual harmony

Why You’ll Love It:

  • A unique two-medium approach for dynamic results
  • Clear, step-by-step instruction in a supportive setting
  • Techniques adaptable to your own artistic style
  • A finished landscape painting rich in color and detail

Explore a timeless painting style in a fresh, engaging way—and leave with new skills, creative confidence, and a striking impressionist landscape of your own.
