The first session of The Landscape Method is complete.

One student. Six hours across two Saturdays on Zoom. One finished oil landscape painting — her first in oils, completed from first sketch to finished canvas alongside me in real time.

Here is what she said:

"Taking Gorden's Zoom class was so much better than anything I had tried before. He could see what I was doing and give correction. I could see him paint and observe every brushstroke. Taking this class has given me the confidence to continue painting."

— Sue Finneran, Louisville, Kentucky

The next session of The Landscape Method is planned for later this year — before December 2026.

If you have been thinking about this, now is the time to put your name on the list.

WHAT THE COURSE IS:

The Landscape Method is a live two-session oil landscape painting workshop on Zoom — limited to a small number of participants so every student receives personal attention.

You will paint a complete landscape from first sketch to finished canvas alongside me in real time. I will be able to see your work throughout each session and provide personal guidance, correction, and encouragement as we go.

No prior oil painting experience is required. Just the desire to begin.

Two Saturdays. Three hours each. Everything you need to know to paint a landscape you are proud of.

WHO THIS IS FOR:

This workshop is designed for retiring and recently retired professionals who have always wanted to paint and are finally ready to begin. People who have spent decades mastering complex things and are ready to bring that same discipline to something beautiful.

If you have tried YouTube tutorials, Bob Ross classes, or wine and paint evenings and felt something was missing — what was missing was an instructor who could actually see your work and respond to what you were doing in real time.

That is what this workshop provides.
