What decisions turn good paintings into great paintings?
Watch as John demonstrates his approach to plein air painting in the glorious winter landscape of New Zealand's Southern Alps and then on a rocky coastline where the weather does its best to interfere!
As he works in the landscape he loves, his candid 'on the spot' commentary on his methods and materials will help resolve many of the problems that artists confront.

For anyone wanting to develop their painting skills rapidly, a one on one day course with me could be just what the doctor ordered. We'll usually start outdoors where you'll learn about WHY things look like they do and how to translate your perceptions to paint on canvas. We can also paint in my studio.
The tuition will be tailored to your skill level - even if it's your very first painting. It's a fun and engaging day and your brain will be bursting with information by the end of it. My goal is to thoroughly inform and inspire you to greater things.
