Why It Matters

Every great painting begins with a story and a strong design.

Without story, no technique will create emotional resonance. And without composition, even the most beautiful color or brushwork will fall flat.

This course will teach you to think like a storyteller from the ground up — designing paintings that move the viewer, hold their attention, and stay in their memory long after they’ve walked away.

Who It’s For

For painters who want to go beyond technique and into meaning.

Whether you’re painting portraits, figures, or imagined scenes, these lessons will give you the visual grammar of the Old Masters.
