Picture this...

The sky’s bright blue, with brilliant shades only a divine being could produce. Not a single cloud in sight. The weather’s warm, with a slight cool breeze. 

The tops of the trees sway with the wind as if waving you their encouragement. The rustling of leaves is the only sound you hear.

Lush greenery surrounds you, and you’re a little daunted by the many shades you have to mix. 

A flock of birds flies above you in formation. Their presence reminds you to include them in your final piece. 

You close your eyes and take a deep breath, filling your entire body with gratitude for experiencing the beauty around you.

It’s just you, your canvas, and Mother Nature.

You’re now tasked with an important mission: 
To capture the FEEL of the scene as you experience it.

But where do you even start?

There’s so much to take in. 

The light. The shadows. The shapes. The depth. 

The sights. The sounds. The mood. The essence.

How do you begin the daunting task of painting such a magnificent view that only your senses can comprehend?

How do you achieve depth and atmosphere in your landscape?

Most importantly…

How do you get your viewers to experience the scene the same way you did?

Paintbrushes and color sets alone can’t produce the same effect.

Not even a camera.

In fact, no camera in the world can ever capture the essence of a scene in its purest form… 

However, an artist can.

YOU can — and you’re about to discover how.

The Mark of a Great Artist
Great paintings are not about great technique alone. The mark of a great artist is being able to capture and translate the emotion of the scene that inspired you in the first place. 

While many artists are still struggling to do this, one man does it with ease. Best of all, he can show you how you can do it.

His name is Dave Santillanes. 

He’s one of the few oil painters with the almost-magical ability to portray the essence of a landscape in his paintings.

If you’ve not heard of Dave, he has been painting outdoors for almost 20 years. He’s a Signature member of the American Impressionist Society and the Oil Painters of America, and his work has been featured in PleinAir Magazine, Southwest Art Magazine, and Art of the West. 

Just last year, he won the grand prize at the 2020 PleinAir Salon art competition. Quite a feat.

The best part? He’s not just a great painter — he’s an amazing teacher too. 

Here’s what one of his students says about him:
“I highly recommend Dave Santillanes as a teacher. I find him very patient and easy to be with. I was very impressed with his ability to show us as students what he is thinking by breaking down what he sees and giving us easy steps to follow. I feel I came away with insights about how to make distance in landscapes. He helped us understand values and achieve atmosphere in our own work. I have always shied away from painting landscapes, but he has inspired me to practice them because of his easy-to-follow approach.” — Susan Lyon
Want to Make Landscapes Filled with Drama and Emotion?
We’re excited to tell you about Dave’s first complete start-to-finish course on video, Painting Landscapes.

You’ll get to watch Dave in amazing detail as he paints Into the Wilderness:

This instructional video is perfect for you if:
  • ​You’re an oil painter and you want to discover how to portray the essence of the scene you’re painting...

One thing is true: Dave won’t hold back on anything inside this course.

You’re going to discover useful tools to help you analyze a scene in terms of pigment — helping you create landscapes like you’ve never done before.
What you can expect inside Dave Santillanes’s Painting Landscapes course:
Color Relationships in a Landscape

Understanding color relationships can be tricky, but once you hear Dave’s explanations and see his examples, you won’t have a problem anymore.

You’ll soon understand why it’s crucial to divide a scene into two different families
… how they relate to each other across atmospheric planes … and how to find the starting point for your painting.
Laying in the Shapes Properly

Dave will explain why building a painting with the right kind of shapes helps with your composition and design. 

He’ll also show you how to identify the lights and darks on the most distant plane, and how to mix it up so you can make things appear different distances — all in great detail, helping you grasp the technique faster.
Venture into the Wilderness

Embark on an insightful journey with Dave as he reveals key design principles like how to lead a viewer through a landscape.

You’ll also get a closer look at a variety of skills to master when painting landscapes — from painting foregrounds, middle grounds, and distance to getting key colors to recede. 

Dave ventures deeply into topics, making sure you fully understand how to paint atmospheric paintings that galleries love to display and people love to own.

"I was so impressed with Dave's organization and systematic approach to mixing his puddles paint both in value and color temperature, warm versus cool. I enjoyed his soft spoken dialogue, not too much or too little. Well worth the price! I plan to go back and watch it again and again. Mahalo Dave!"
- P. Chaney
"This video represents a systematic and organised approach to landscape painting that I find supremely useful and so simply stated. It’s a great starting point for beginners and for those of us who sometimes have no idea where to begin. love his direct, no nonsense approach and have learned so much in just the first half. I’m looking forward to viewing the second half later this week."
- BevKelly
