How a Monumental Landmark Will Make You a BETTER Painter in a Few Short Hours
Featuring: How to Paint the Grand Canyon with Amery Bohling
Dear Fellow Artist,

Imagine standing in front of your easel — somewhere on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon — painting a majestic view at sunset. 

Then coming home with a masterful artwork … to enjoy … and show your friends and family. How astounded they are at the fleeting beauty you were able to capture! Who knew you could do such breathtaking work? You may even be startled by your own newfound expertise.

Is this merely the stuff of fantasy and imagination?

Not at all!

This dream — and the masterpiece you can paint — is entirely within your reach.

Much sooner than you think!

Would you like to be a better painter as soon as tomorrow?

I’m about to tell you how that can happen, but first, let me answer a question you might have…
Why Would I Want to Paint the Grand Canyon If I’ve Never Been and May Never Go?
Whether you have been to the Grand Canyon or not, you know it is one of the seven natural wonders of the world. Words can never describe its grandeur, although one writer tried. She said…
"…the weight of deep time on display crushes comprehension. We look, we gasp, we shudder with awe."
-Pamela Petro, former artist-in-residence at the Grand Canyon
It’s that very sense of awe … and wonder … that artists seek to portray. Isn’t that what you hope to achieve each time you put brush to canvas? Don’t you long to create work that not only represents the world around you, but captures that little spark that lives in your mind’s eye?

Well, now you can. 

And it is much easier than you think.

In fact, with this video, you can be a better painter in a matter of hours!

Picture yourself:
  • Setting up your canvas and laying out the drawing with a plan that ensures success
  • Boldly mixing clear, vibrant colors so that half the hard work is done before you even start painting
  • Confidently laying in the correct values so that your painting actually "sings" with harmony
Do one or more of these things elude you when you paint? Do your colors tend to get dull and muddy? Do you get to the end of the painting and that spark you were going for just isn’t there?

It’s happened to all of us. Talk about frustration! All that hard work, and the painting just doesn’t look like you imagined it would. Hours and hours spent … expensive materials … are you wasting your time?

Of course not. You just need someone to show you exactly what to do. Step by step. How to plan. How to execute. How to know when you’re getting off track … and how to get back on.

And that’s exactly what Painting the Grand Canyon, featuring Amery Bohling, will do for you. Amery is a member of the "Grand Canyon 7," a group of artist friends who paint there regularly. "The Canyon," as they call it, has become their obsession. You don’t need to make it your obsession, but this remarkable video will fuel your own passion for painting by ramping up your skills fast. Skills that will go on to apply to your future work, no matter the subject.

Let me introduce myself and tell you more about it.

Founder Eric Rhoads 
I’m Eric Rhoads, founder of Streamline Publishing. We publish Fine Art Connoisseur and PleinAir Magazine as well as the Plein Air Today and Fine Art Today newsletters. We also produce numerous events for artists, so I work with artists all the time. In addition, I am a painter myself. I like to refer to plein air painting as "the new golf." If I have time to be outdoors, it will usually be somewhere scenic with my painting gear. So I’m very familiar with what it takes to make a successful painting … and how disheartening it is when you just can’t make it work.
I find myself just as eager to learn better painting techniques and ways of getting that elusive gem of an image on the canvas as anyone. That’s why I am excited to present this new video from professional artist Amery Bohling, Painting the Grand Canyon. It is 4 hours and 22 minutes of demonstration that can easily improve your skills in the time it takes to watch it … or as you paint along. 

The Grand Canyon is a vast subject, to say the least. And you might think it is too hard to tackle.

Too big … too overwhelming.

But it is simply not the case. I can assure you right now that the way Amery breaks this painting process down is nothing short of genius. Even better, the approach she shares with you in the video will definitely apply to absolutely anything you want to paint.

That’s the real beauty of this video. If you follow along and do as Amery does … I guarantee you will be a better painter — with a clearer picture of what you want to accomplish — by the time this video is over. Let me give you some details…

What the Heck Is a "Notan?"

Amery starts her video by talking about a value sketch she makes before she starts. She calls it a "notan." Now, I painted for a long time and never heard that word. So what the heck is it?

Notan is a Japanese concept. The word means "light-dark balance" and is pronounced just like it looks: no tan.
James McNeill Whistle, 1864, Symphony in White No. 2: The Little White Girl, oil on canvas
As a quick study, a notan is a powerful compositional tool. Often there is so much color and detail information in a scene that we don’t know where to start. Or we get lost in it. A notan study helps nail it down. It defines what stays in shadow and what remains in the light. Amery uses a few additional gray values in her studies and explains that in the video.
"Painting the Canyon is Complicated, but Doable" 
— Amery Bohling
Yes, this video focuses on making a painting of the Grand Canyon. Specifically, it is a view of the North Rim at sunset. Imagine the glow of seeing that if you were standing there in person. How mind-boggling that would be! And what better grand image to strive for in your own work?

Does this sound like a "stretch"? Did I just hear you let out a small groan? Well, quit that right now. If you want to paint masterfully, then you need to get busy. Did you know studies show that you learn best when you’re s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d? That means getting into your DIS-comfort zone. When you’re struggling, that’s when you’re getting better. And the more time you spend in that discomfort zone, the faster you learn.
Now, you don’t have to wear yourself out. But coasting and doing the same old thing doesn’t make you improve. A very high-quality 10 minutes of striving, making mistakes, and then learning from those mistakes will teach you more than any one hour of doing what you already know how to do.

Hey, we’re not here just to "tickle your ears" … we’re here to give you the tools to get better with each and every painting. Who has time to waste? Sure, painting is an enjoyable pastime, but don’t you want to be damn good at it, too? (I thought so…)

Here’s just a taste of what Amery demonstrates in this video. These are all about COLOR:
  • Why you need to paint en plein air to see the true colors in nature … photos are wonderful references when you understand color.
  • What you need to do BEFORE you ever start to paint to have half the hard work done.
  • How to determine the main shadow color in a painting so that every light is lighter than that and every dark is darker. (This is the only way to get a correct separation of light and dark in your work.)
  • How to judge and correct the values of colors right on the palette (no dulling them with white or black)
  • The ONE color you need on your palette to tone your mixed colors without losing the vibrancy you’re going for. (and no… it is not a neutral gray… far from it.)
  • How to get "fiery" colors for beautiful saturation.
  • Why using black to edit your colors is NOT the way to go
  • How to plan your color values so they don’t "fight" on the canvas or look jumpy and disconnected.
  • Learn which opaque colors will slaughter the beautiful mixes you really want — and what to do instead.
  • The one tool you need to for mixing — and how to use it without wasting expensive paint.
Expert Color-Mixing Lessons Galore!
You may wonder how you can learn so much about color in one video. Well, I’ll tell you…

We use an overhead camera to film the palette during the painting process. And Amery narrates what she is doing through the entire video. After a talking a while, Amery starts thinking out loud — and you are right there, in on it. We simply do closeups while she’s mixing and talking, and you can practically see the wheels turning in her head. Even better, you hear her working through the process in her own mind and watch every move she makes. This is an expert artist at work! Where else can you be a fly on the wall and observe that? Even if you were to attend one of her workshops — many times the price of this video — you wouldn’t get that near and someone else would be talking and distracting her train of thought. We really get you up close and personal. There’s nothing else like it.

That’s just one of the advantages of owning this video.
Your Own Expert Artist on Call
Don’t forget you can watch it through the first time without painting. You know us artists — we actually LIKE watching paint dry! Then you can watch it again and paint along. If you run into a glitch, pause it and come back. ALSO, there is a high-speed option on the DVD so you can watch the whole thing in under 10 minutes. That’s a great way to get an overview of the entire lesson.

And we’re not even finished on the subject of color!

Let me give you some specific points on the video where you can find things you positively need to know…
  • The difference between "local" color and "affected" color, which is the downfall of landscape artists who don’t understand it. (54:04)
  • Figuring out how to paint those enchanting striations in the Grand Canyon so they look as harmonious as they do in nature and not like some mismatched cartoon. (1:18:03)
  • How to avoid "clownish" colors and why the real shades look nothing like you expect. (1:21:57)
  • The "Cezanne Secret" of making colors enhance each other. (1:35:20)
  • The exact questions to ask yourself when you are mixing colors on the palette. (1:56:22)
  • Why you need to pay attention to juxtaposition of colors even in subtle areas of the painting. (2:10:25)
"Palette Cleansing Is Soul Cleansing"
Does your palette become one big confused mess as you paint? Watch Amery as she keeps her palette in check all through the painting process. Her simple technique keeps the paint organized — no dibs and dabs everywhere — and you’ll chuckle when you see her take a deep cleansing breath each time she cleans it up and makes a fresh start. It’s just what you need to know to keep from getting mired in dirty paint when you’re painting.
The Fastest Proven Way to Mastery
I hope, by now, you are excited as I am to use this video to improve your painting skills immediately. We all know that one of the fastest and most effective ways to learn anything — and get better at it quickly — is to have a mentor or a role model. Maybe you don’t have that opportunity available to you. Or you don’t have the time to spend with a full-time teacher. But having one available for hours at a time is a huge advantage. And it’s something you can easily provide for yourself with a video like this.
Dan Coyle, who wrote The Talent Code, says, "When we stare at someone we want to become and we have a really clear idea of where we want to be, it unlocks a tremendous amount of energy. We're social creatures, and when we get the idea that we want to join some enchanted circle up above us, that is what really lights up motivation. "Look, they did it. I can do it." It sounds very basic, but spending time staring at the best can be one of the most powerful things you do."
Really, with the Internet and social media we all have available to us today, there’s no longer an excuse to say, "I don’t know how to do that." The pieces to the puzzles are available. All you have to do is pick them up and put them together.
On Your Way to Solving the Painting Puzzle…
So what if you were able to learn half of the things I’ve mentioned here (there have been more than 20) on your first time through the video? Would that be worth $150 to you? Of course you could travel and take a workshop with Amery (which you should if you can!), but that could easily add up to a quick thousand bucks.

And what if you paint along with the video and pick up 20 or more new ways to make your painting stronger and more cohesive in less than one day? How valuable are all those trade secrets from a successful professional painter? I know your time is precious. The time you spend working on the craft of painting is an investment as well. And working smarter rather than harder is always more productive.

Dancing Brushes
Believe me, watching Amery paint is like a ballad of brushes dancing over the palette … then the canvas … and back again. It’s a symphony of motion while the painting literally comes to life before your eyes. You see the reference drawing right beside the painting the whole time. You see how Amery keeps her place on the reference and how she even uses a field study for more color information. (If you do not have one available, that is fine, but if you DO have one, you need to know how to use it.) Tune in to the video right at 3:19 for a tip that will let you match colors from a field study or previous painting that you might be using for reference. (Or how to add paint to a dry painting so it matches.) You won’t get the colors right unless you do this!

And get this … all through the video, Amery shows you the precise brushes she owns and how she uses them to "scrub," or "tap" or soften or define the many strokes that make a painting. Her blending method is one you will want to copy!

Here's more...
  • The smart way to build shadow shapes that are interesting and not obvious or monotonous. (2:28)
  • The easy trick (once you know it) to loading paint on a palette knife to draw a very thin line on the canvas. (2:41)
  • How to load the brush without globs to lay in amazing highlights. (3:03)
  • How to "rich-ify" your shadows so they remain in shadow but have volume and shape and are not a flat, dead space in the painting. (3:26)
  • And one AMAZING section of video — from 3:49 to 3:56 — where Amery makes the smallest bushes come alive. They do NOT look like polka dots in the landscape. They are positioned exactly where they should be in space and it is masterful painting you won’t want to miss.
These Few Hours of Video Will Change Your Painting Life Forever
You simply cannot watch this video, put it into practice, and be the same painter ever again. There is just too much valuable information here that will become part of how you paint from now on. Everyone who sees your work will see a difference right away. Yes, you have to do the work. But the reward is immediate. Even the first time through this video, there will be more than you can take in. But that’s great! That’s value! Every time you go through this video — whether you paint along with it or not — you will learn something new that will apply to anything you paint in the future.

Remember … you need to get uncomfortable. You need to practice what you DON’T already know how to do. That’s why this Grand Canyon painting is perfect. You’ve probably never had the chance to spend time in Arizona, equipped for a day or more in the open to paint to your heart’s content. But now you can vicariously. You can stretch yourself. You can follow Amery every step of the way. You can turn out a fantastic painting that will astound your family and friends.

Or you can keep at it on your own. Hoping that something you read will kick in and make a difference. Because it just might. You do make your best effort every time you paint, I’m sure. We all do. But you know what they say about good intentions. (They don’t get you very far.)
