Create landscapes that feel alive

If you want paintings that feel dreamy, translucent, and full of emotion, you’re in the right place.

  • Find freedom through exploration as you experiment with materials and discover new ways of making marks.

  • Blend mediums with confidence, from paint and collage to image transfers and encaustic wax, to create atmosphere and depth.

  • Rescue paintings that aren’t working by learning how to add more layers, soften edges or rebuild the composition.

  • Create seamless image transfers and combine them with your hand-painted elements to bring storytelling into your landscapes.

  • Learn encaustic wax in a simple, accessible way to add translucency, texture and a dreamlike finish.

  • Build a cohesive collection of work you’ll be proud to share, frame or sell.




What’s inside the 6 Parts

Part 1 - Exploring Materials & Abstract Foundations

Learn how to work confidently with:

    • Ink
    • Charcoal
    • Pastels
    • Acrylics
    • Water-soluble pencils

You’ll create large abstract pieces, a meandering sketchbook of textures and marks, and prepare cradleboards and papers for the next stages.

Part 2 - Crafting Evocative Landscapes

Build your first mixed media landscapes using:

    • Spray paint
    • Collage
    • Gold leaf
    • Modelling paste
    • Layering techniques

You’ll explore how to evoke atmosphere, depth and subtle movement.

Part 3 - Image Transfer Techniques

Learn several methods to transfer your own photographs onto your work. Blend image transfers with painted elements and collage, and prepare your cradleboard underpainting for final layers.

Part 4 - Encaustic Wax Techniques

A calm and gentle introduction to working with wax:

    • Layer wax for translucency
    • Embed collage pieces
    • Add texture and atmosphere
    • Prepare surfaces correctly for strong adhesion

You’ll create large abstract pieces, a meandering sketchbook of textures and marks, and prepare cradleboards and papers for the next stages.

Part 5 - Alternative Finishes

If wax isn’t for you, explore:

    • Cold wax
    • Gloss gel
    • Pouring mediums

Choose the finish that best suits your style.

Part 6 - Final Works & Cohesive Series

Create finished landscapes on paper and cradleboard. Learn how to resolve paintings, unify colours, build atmosphere, and create work you feel proud to display.

As an artist who has taken a number of courses this is one of the best. It covers many techniques and processes that I was unaware of and answered many personal questions. It also allowed ample room for creative exploration. Susan has a natural way of teaching and her lessons are engaging and easy to follow. Her generosity of time answering questions and commenting on the site and Facebook group was unwavering. I know that I will dip in and out of the lessons for years to come making it a very economical purchase. Thank you Susan for making it a truly enriching experience for me as I’m sure it has for others, and will do for artists of all levels in the future.

So, depending on your country, you may see a different final price due to tax. You can read more details in the link provided about how taxes are handled.
