LUSCIOUS LANDSCAPES
For the past several years I’ve been taking in the beauty of the landscapes we have visited around this gorgeous planet, all the while trying to find exciting ways to translate them into evocative paintings!
In this online class I share with you what I have discovered that will help you to...
- Use your own photos to create vivid, exciting, luscious landscapes!
- Free yourself up to explore more and agonise less over your art!
- Use your imagination and techniques I share to blend aspects of realism and abstraction in your artworks!
- To say more with less.
- Become comfortable with making gestural marks that describe the emotion of a place without having to add every detail.
- Simplify color and shape to create vibrant impactful luscious landscapes!
Do you have a gazillion pics of places you’ve been to? Holiday snaps you’ve taken thinking one day I’m going to paint that? Me too!!

“Tracy's gentle kind approach to putting marks on paper has helped me to grow my art and stretch outside my comfort zone!! And with great success!!! I feel more confident to sketch... paint... and just have fun without judgment or fear of making a mistake. I learned that I can fix something I don't like or sit with it and either let it go or continue to work on it.
I highly recommend Tracy's online courses and have since purchased more because they are fun and her style is easy to learn. And it's also very affordable which is important ! Thank you Tracy!!”

I’m an avid happy snapper when we are travelling. Mi amor has even started a series capturing me in weird poses as I try to get that perfect shot!

Is this course suitable for any level?
Absolutely!! I have been teaching my in person and online classes around the world for the past nine years! Both beginners and more experienced painters have enjoyed epiphanies in creative process, shifted perspectives and enjoyed learning new techniques. Mostly though I have come to realize that what I am teaching is about how to see the creative possibilities inherent in every moment and then to learn ways to process and translate those moments in our own artistic voice….AND to FREE UP and not be STUCK!!
Can I exhibit or sell the work I create in this workshop?
One of the main intentions in my courses is to help you find ways to connect with a style all of your own. So, with this in mind, I’m happy for you to show and sell original, innovative work created. If, however, you feel that you want to follow along more closely and produce pieces very similar to those within the projects that is all good, but I would ask that you don’t put those pieces out to exhibit or sell if they are close copies of my work. I trust that your heart will tell you what is too close. We also ask that you understand that these are Tracy's copyrighted techniques and may not be taught or packaged as a class by any individual other than Tracy without express consent. ♥
