JOIN MY MENTORSHIP GROUP
For Emerging Artists
I’m mentoring a small group of artists with @mastrius.official! Mastrius is an online community dedicated to fostering community and mentorship amongst artists of all skill levels. In my new mentorship group, we’ll be focusing on: ▪️How Light Shapes the Landscape Students will learn to recognize how different types of light—morning, midday, golden hour, overcast—change the mood, value structure, and color relationships in a scene. ▪️Seeing and Simplifying Value Patterns They’ll practice identifying the major value groups that hold a painting together, learning to squint, simplify, and design strong compositions based on light and dark. ▪️Color Temperature in Light and Shadow Students will explore warm vs. cool relationships, learning why warm light creates cool shadows (and vice versa) and how to use temperature shifts to create glow. ▪️Glazing and Layering for Glow You’ll introduce techniques for building luminosity through transparent layers, helping students create that inner radiance your landscapes are known for. ▪️Learn to move past literal copying—using light, shadow, and color to express emotion, memory, and personal voice in their landscapes. ✨ If you’re new to Mastrius Mentorship, enjoy 50% off your first two months — plenty of time to meet your mentor (me!), settle into your group, and start feeling real momentum.

What you will learn...
Painting Dynamic Landscapes That Glow – In Oils and Acrylics
Step into a mentorship designed to deepen your understanding of color, light, and expressive landscape painting. In this immersive class, you’ll learn to capture the brilliance of sky and earth, from glowing sunsets to atmospheric transitions that make a painting feel alive. Each session explores a core concept—color mixing, value control, temperature relationships, chroma, and harmony—so you can build a strong foundation while discovering how light shapes every part of the landscape. Together, we’ll move beyond simply copying what we see and begin interpreting the world with intention, emotion, and poetic clarity.
Throughout the course, you’ll receive reference photos, step‑by‑step exercises, demonstrations, and weekly handouts that break down each concept into approachable, practical steps. You’ll experiment boldly, refine your technique, and learn how to let color and light work together to create depth, mood, and luminosity. Whether you’re seeking stronger fundamentals or a more expressive voice, this mentorship will help you bring your landscapes to life with confidence and glow. Join Michael Orwick and let your colors shine.
