Suzie Baker: Light Infused Landscapes

Light Infused Landscapes — Transform Muddy, Lifeless Landscapes Into Paintings Infused With Radiant Light

They say a photo is worth a thousand words. But in the studio, it could be the very thing stealing the life from your paintings.

Most artists use source photos in some capacity — whether to jog their memory of a place or capture specific details for later pieces.

The truth is, when you rely on photos too heavily, your painting might appear accurate in some ways — but feel lifeless.

The real secret isn’t better photos — it’s understanding how light actually behaves, from cooling shadows to shifting highlights to the transformative effect of time of day, so your paintings stop looking copied and start looking alive.

In this course, Suzie Baker reveals the very system of painting that elevated her to President of Oil Painters of America and made her a nationally recognized master of light. She’ll guide you step by step in creating landscapes that glow with luminous, emotional depth.
