What you'll see and learn:
Watch Nicholas paint an expressive landscape in real time and explain every step he takes along the way.
How to lay fluid, vibrant washes and control the movement of water across the paper
How to place thicker pigment at the right moment to create energy and texture within a wash
How to use warm and cool color temperature to build aesthetic contrasts
How tocreate depth and atmospherethrough shifts in tone and temperature
Does this sound like you?
Your washes dry flat and lifeless
You want them to feel fluid and alive, with color that moves across the paper
You mix colors on the palette but they turn muddy on the paper
You want to understand how pigment behaves in water and how to keep your washes clean and vibrant
You paint what you see, but it has no atmosphere
The scene felt full of light. On paper, it reads flat. You want to capture the feeling, not describe the view
You follow tutorials step by step but can not paint on your own
When the video stops, you stop. You want to understand why each step works so you can paint on your own
Your workshop with Nicholas Tobias
Nicholas will paint an expressive landscape in real time using fluid, vibrant washes. You will see his palette, his paper, his brush. He will show how to lay the first wash, control pigment density, build warm-to-cool contrast across the scene, and use tonal shifts to create atmospheric depth.

What language is the workshop in?
A landscape is not a list of things you saw. It is how the light felt at that moment, in that place.
Nicholas paints that feeling. In this workshop, you will see exactly how he does it.
One landscape. One session. Every step explained.
