Malcolm Dewey
I am looking forward to working with you. Painting is my passion as you probably have noticed. I have been painting for decades and you have seen my work and some of my free lessons already. If you feel that I could help you paint better then let's work together.
I do want you to see real progress so that you also find your true potential fulfilled. To help you achieve this I can give you: 1. Honest guidance on what to focus on. 2. Give you practical instruction relevant to you. 3. Give you specific tasks to work on. In this way you can learn more quickly in the comfort of your home. No pressure from other artists watching you. No time away from home or work. Plus I can hold you accountable so that you follow through on your painting lessons. Sound good? |

What Others are Saying:
|
Being a new artist I was having trouble finding my way with my painting. I would have occasional small successes but more often than not my results were inconsistent and disappointing to say the least. I had watched countless videos on the internet and read books but applying the knowledge was difficult. I knew that I needed some direction. I ran across Malcolm’s Art Coaching class and contacted him about personal lessons.
I must say that after just four weeks my painting has improved drastically. Malcolm took me back to the basics in order to correct the mistakes I had been making and to re-establish a clear path going forward. He tailored each lesson specifically to me and gave me valuable critiques and direction for my paintings during the week. Malcolm teaches in the loose impressionist style but he encouraged me to explore my own style and signature in my work. I feel that had I not found Malcolm’s course I would have continued to struggle with my painting and perhaps would never realize my potential as an artist. I am looking forward to using my newfound knowledge in my painting and I will continue to value his coaching and critique in the future. -Andy O Alabama, USA |

Thank you for being willing to mentor me in painting. In these short weeks I have already learned to look at scenes with new eyes and have gained practical skills.
You are not only a highly skilled artist but also a gifted instructor. Having both is rare. I’m grateful and look forward to continuing to learn how to reinterpret what I see to communicate through painting something satisfying and beautiful. Having you as a coach right beside me in this process has been invaluable - even if it is done with approximately 8400 miles between us! Thank you for your encouragement and for challenging me to a higher level! (Teresa, N Carolina, USA) |
Limited Number of Students
Due to the time commitment and personal nature of the mentoring there is only space for ten students.
Please note that this program is for artists committed to improving their art over the full six months. Those students that work consistently and participate fully will improve their painting. However each person is different and needs attention to varied areas of painting. Therefore I am only able to take on a select few students.

Six months of mentoring:
The Foundation and Individual Instruction
To ensure real progress I start with building a strong foundation of knowledge.
This includes:
1. Composition and Simplification: Selecting a scene and composing your painting right at the start. This is the KEY to successful painting. You will learn these skills with a prepared lesson plan and recorded video.
2. Understanding Values: The power of a painting and the sense of realism comes from values. But how to learn this skill can be very difficult. I have created a program to help you see values like an artist. Then commit the value structure to your painting.
3. Color and Light: How to mix color and create the illusion of light on your canvas. That life and sparkle that makes a painting come to life. You will learn practical skills not simply theory. From atmospheric colors to punchy highlights. Everything you need to put into practice.
4. Brushwork and Edges: Make the most of your brushes. Effective and confident brushwork comes from knowledge and practice. You will learn these techniques through practical work and guidance. What a difference this will make to your painting!
5. Process: Put everything together and create paintings you will be delighted with. Through steady work and feedback you will be able to lift your painting ability and fun.
Personal Attention:
The foundation lessons are in video format supported with documents and assignments.
