Learn to Paint Stunning Landscapes with the M3 Method

Welcome to this comprehensive painting course, updated May 5, 2023, with a bonus landscape painting demo! In this February 2020 episode, artist Mandar Marathe introduces you to the powerful M3 Method of Painting, a simplified approach to creating beautiful artwork using both oil and acrylic mediums.

Mandar, who has guided over 15,000 students through his studio workshops and online courses, will lead you step-by-step through this process. The M3 Method breaks down the painting process into three easy-to-follow steps:

• Composition: Learn how to create a compelling and balanced painting layout.
• Block-in: Master the technique of establishing the basic shapes and colors in your painting.
• Detail: Add the finishing touches to bring your artwork to life.

This method is designed for beginners and intermediate artists alike. The beauty of the M3 Method lies in its simplicity. You'll only need to work with 3 colors and less than 3 brushes for each painting! Each demo provides a clear demonstration of the three steps, along with a reference photo to guide your own landscape painting.

By the end of this course, you'll gain the confidence to approach any painting project with structure and skill. No prior art experience is required – just a desire to learn and create! Discover a structured approach to painting and unlock your artistic potential.
