“This is an excellent course... I have struggled with clouds since the beginning of trying to paint. I truly recommend this course as it finally helped me understand where I was missing out. I found it to be paced at my pace and was easy to navigate and repeat sections over and over that I needed to. It's so worth it!”

“I got exactly what I wanted out of this course and more. I learned techniques and tips on how I can improve and bring more drama to my own paintings — all from the comfort of my own home. The course is like learning how to cast a spell, astoundingly magical and insanely awesome… Layne's delightfully encouraging demeanor throughout kept me motivated and excited to keep going and like he says, to 'trust the process!'"
— Jennifer W.
“After feeling stuck on a plateau with my landscape paintings, this course helped me refocus on a practical process that I can use as a guide. I appreciated the comprehensive structure of the course that allowed me to see the entire process from choosing colors through final art. I'm inspired by a fresh look at technique and process. And I'm studying the clouds everywhere I go.”
—Melody S.
“Enrolling in this course was the best investment in myself.
Layne, your style of teaching and your approach (structure of the course, explanation of every step, the feedback possibility) are unique. I have enrolled in other 2 courses. Can’t wait to start them!”

“This course is so helpful in giving very fundamental (and foundational) help for a painter, even beginners! It has built my confidence as an artist to apply time-tested techniques to my painting, and given me a great hunger to keep honing my artistic skills. Thank you Layne. You are the best teacher I've learned with.”
—Linda B.
“I’m so glad that I enrolled in Layne's course because I learnt so much and can now confidently paint gorgeous landscapes. You can spend years figuring things out by yourself or just learn from a great teacher and catapult your skills and abilities in a short space of time!”

“This was an AMAZING experience. It shined a whole new light on painting for me not just on painting clouds but painting entirely.”
—N.N.
“I struggled a lot with painting clouds so I took an online class with @laynejohnsonstudio to get help! And to my delight, I was able to understand clouds and their rainbow colors so much better.”
—Bailey D.
“I was like ‘Oh my gosh! The cloud is becoming 3-dimensional!!!’ … Then I stepped back and suddenly it POPPED and I saw depth and dimension that wasn't there before. Very exciting!”

"Having painted for a few years without much guidance it was amazing to have access to such detailed explanations. Layne takes you step-by-step with stunning visuals of the canvas coming to life (and the palette becoming messier!) set to narration and relaxing music. It was a pleasure to complete the course over months – setting up my painting gear with a cup of tea and blocking off an hour or two to paint the next stage.
I know that I will come back to this video in the future and discover new learning points. I can't wait for more!"
—Toby M.
"I really have learned a lot of things that I know I’ll use from now on in every painting I do.
I loved seeing the ENTIRE process of how you complete a painting, from the block in to the final touches!
Thank you for the wonderful course, it’s definitely improved my painting and I look forward to the next one."
