Quick Landscape Impressions

🌄 Capture the essence of any scene—fast. In this 3+ hour plein-air demo, Josh Clare teaches you how to quickly block in landscapes using broad brushstrokes, a limited palette, and an intuitive sense of value. You’ll tackle four different subjects: clouds, mountains, a snowbank, and a Maui beach—all with a timed, impression-focused workflow. 


You’ll learn how to:

  • 🎨 See and simplify complex scenery into bold, readable forms

  • ⏱ Work with time constraints to loosen up and stay spontaneous

  • 📐 Build structure using a simple value and color palette

  • 🖌 Cultivate confident mark-making that captures mood over detail


Perfect for advanced landscape painters who want to train their eye, strengthen their speed, and build a more intuitive, impressionistic approach to outdoor painting. Rutime: 3+ hours

Josh Clare

Josh Clare grew up drawing and was rarely without a pencil and paper, but it wasn’t until he began studying art at BYU-Idaho that he began painting. That first oil painting class included a trip to the galleries in Jackson Hole (his first visit to an art gallery or museum) and completely changed the course of his life.
Josh has been supporting himself and his family with art since 2007 after graduation and he thanks God every day for that remarkable blessing. He figures that if he can paint all day, every day, for the next 20 years, eventually he’ll paint something pretty decent.
