Kevin Macpherson: The Ultimate Master Class, Vol .3 - The Magic Grid: Still Life

Kevin Macpheson Reveals His “Magic Grid” Limited Palette Approach to Composing Stunning Still Lifes That Captivate Viewers and Showcase Your Unique Artistic Voice!

Here’s the truth.

Creating a captivating still life isn’t just about choosing the right objects or having flawless brushwork. 

It’s about understanding how to compose those objects in a way that creates interest, harmony, and a clear path for the viewer’s eye to follow.

And it’s about knowing how to use color effectively, even with a limited palette, to achieve stunning results.

Without a strong underlying structure and a masterful command of color, even the most beautifully rendered details can fall flat.

Introducing Kevin Macpherson’s The Magic Grid: Still Life — the third volume in his game-changing series that will transform your still lifes from flat to fabulous.

Developed over Kevin’s 40-year career as a master painter and instructor, the “Magic Grid” is a simple yet powerful tool that will guide you in every aspect of the painting process, from initial arrangement to final brushstroke.

By combining the “Magic Grid” with this unique limited palette strategy, you’ll learn to:

●      Simplify complex subjects into abstract shapes and colors, making the painting process more manageable and enjoyable

●      Create dynamic, eye-catching compositions using negative space and unequal proportions

●      Achieve stunning color harmony and chromatic range with a streamlined palette, saving you time and money on materials

●      Guide the viewer’s eye effortlessly through your painting with intentional brushwork and layering

●      Make confident, intuitive decisions at every stage of the painting process, freeing you from the paralysis of indecision

If you’re a fan of Kevin’s work or have enjoyed the previous volumes in this series, you won’t want to miss this opportunity to complete your collection and elevate your painting skills to new heights.

Let Kevin Macpherson show you the magic behind paintings that demand a closer look!
