Michele Byrne: Painting Impressionistic Figures Michele Byrne

Do You Want to Learn the Simple Secrets to Rock Your Paintings and Create Stunning Impressionistic Figures?

Do you remember the first time you held a paintbrush?

Do you remember that feeling of unlimited possibility you felt before the brush touched the canvas?

Would you like to revisit that feeling by learning a new and exciting way of painting outdoors or in the studio?

 

Think about it: 

When you put figures in your paintings, it makes your painting come alive.

But most of the figures you see in paintings are not believable.

That’s about to change.

Imagine a cafe setting where you hear multiple lively conversations going on at once…

…you smell the crisp aroma of ground Arabica coffee beans brewing and the sweetness of pastry dough rising in tiny ovens…

….you see dozens of intricate movements, like the grand and sweeping arc of a waiter setting down his serving tray, the subtle way a young man leans in as he talks to his friend sitting next to him, or the gentle whisk of a woman’s hair being brushed behind her ear.

Suddenly a rich and lively story begins to form, and you’re remembering that pure and almost childlike wonder that you experienced the first time you held a brush.

You’d love to capture your experience, but maybe you’re running into the THREE most common things that hold people back:

• Lack of time
• Lack of technique
• Inability to create believable figures
• The simple solution?

Learn a style that allows you to do MORE in LESS time – giving you the skills you need to paint faster.

And if there are gaps in your technique?

You find the right teacher! 

If you love the idea of painting outdoors or in the studio but you’re facing any one of these problems right now, then you’ll be happy to know that there IS a solution.

Her name is Michele Byrne. 

Michele Byrne Can Show You How to Paint Gallery-Quality Paintings Fast.

And Michele knows something most painters don’t understand … figures make paintings sell!

Michele is an incredibly talented painter whose critically acclaimed work currently hangs in galleries and homes all over the United States, including the permanent collection of the Bennington Museum in Vermont!

She’s been featured in several prestigious events, galleries, and publications, and received dozens of awards in some of the most competitive art shows in the U.S.

One glance at her work and you can see why it’s tremendously popular with collectors. She has developed a signature style.

Michele has gained worldwide recognition for her enchanting and expressive plein air and studio work, where she captures those immediate and fleeting moments that make up a wonderful composition.

Simply put, Michele loves painting stories … and she’s very, very good at it. She often uses scenes in busy cafes, jazz clubs, and other places that are full of life and movement.

In her own words:

“The sounds, the smells, the mood and environment all become integral to the finished image. My paintings are meant to be mirrors of our lives…

“There is something magical and mystical about standing with your feet firmly planted on the earth, absorbing all the sounds, smells … and letting it flow out onto the canvas…”

This is the magic we asked Michele to share with us when we invited her to the Liliedahl studios.

There were several things we were especially excited to learn:

•  Her “hidden” secrets to using texture
•  Exactly how she tells a story with her work
•  How she paints such wonderful, gallery-quality pieces in such a short amount of time
•  How to use a palette knife to create a special feel
•  How to paint amazing figures that look like real people

 

So Michele sat down for an enlightening one-on-one interview, revealing her artist’s soul, and then she took us on an in-depth, step-by-step journey through her entire painting process.

It’s all about how you can create:

Painting Figures, Painting Texture, Painting Stories…

If you enjoy the freedom of painting outdoors and want to learn how to tell a captivating story with your work, then this video training was created especially for you.

Or if you’re a studio painter, you can use these same techniques for creating texture and painting believable figures.

Inside, Michele gives you a complete beginning-to-end demonstration of her entire painting process.

Painting Impressionistic Figures features three hours of in-depth painting instruction (and an eye-opening one-on-one interview with the artist).

You’ll learn how professional plein air painters paint with a palette knife, how to quickly capture the mood and emotion of a lively cafe setting (even when your subjects are moving), and much, much more.

Michele is a master when it comes to fast and “reactive” painting – which is extremely valuable for the artist who loves to paint outdoors but has limited free time to do it.

You’ll learn her complete process, step by step.

• The first thing she does that makes the entire painting much easier to create 
• The second critical step, which creates a “painter’s roadmap” 
• The crucial third step, which gives the paintings depth 
• The techniques of using brush and palette knife together 
• The finishing touches

Each step includes specific techniques that fit together like a puzzle and help you move along to the next step of the painting.

It’s a fascinating process that allows for both improvisation and discovery … and it can give you results that are simply breathtaking.

If you’re an experienced painter, then Michele’s techniques are guaranteed to help you take your work to the next level.

However…

You don’t need to be an experienced painter to learn how to paint stunning compositions using Michele’s techniques.

In fact, you can be a complete beginner, and you’ll be shocked at how natural Michele’s process feels … and you’ll be truly surprised at the mesmerizing scenes you “discover” on the canvas as you paint.

You may have seen scenes with lots of figures that you’ve wanted to paint, but felt they were overwhelming or too complicated. Michele’s training will give you the confidence and the technique to take them on.
