Mitchell is a patient instructor whose dedication is apparent. He is very clear with critique … and does not lose sight of the magical quality that painting has and balances this well with technical knowledge to create an enjoyable and worthwhile experience. – participant, The Contemporary Impressionist Landscape, 2024
UPCOMING AUTHOR EVENTS: New Lessons in Landscape Painting
Join me for several online author events celebrating the release of my new book on October 13. First, we’ll take a look inside the new book for an overview of the various exercises and demonstrations. You’ll also hear the answer to the question I get asked most often: how does this new book differ from my previous books on landscape painting? I’ll showcase some of the extraordinary painters featured in the book to show how their work demonstrates these core lessons. Best of all, I’ll be going over some topics in depth, so you can take away tips you can apply to your paintings now. We’ll wrap up with an open Q&A on all things landscape.
