Discover the 5-Question Framework & the “Paint Like a P.R.O.” Mindset Shift That Transforms Ordinary Acrylic Landscapes into Powerful, Story-Driven Art!
The difference between forgettable “wallpaper art” and paintings that command attention isn’t just technique…
It’s about what happens before you even pick up your brush.
Most artists immediately dive into details — painting every blade of grass, every leaf, every cloud…
…only to create flat, unfocused work that takes forever to complete and fails to capture what truly moved them about the scene.
But what if you could approach your landscape paintings with absolute clarity about what matters most?
Award-winning acrylic artist Charlie Easton discovered that the key isn’t about adding more — it’s about focusing on what’s essential.
After years of creating mediocre paintings that “looked like most other amateur art,” Charlie developed a simple 5-question framework that completely transformed his approach.
This revolutionary framework, combined with Charlie’s unique P.R.O. mindset (Process-driven, Resilient, and Open), has helped him become one of the youngest artists ever awarded the prestigious SFCA designation by the Federation of Canadian Artists.
The results speak for themselves: faster painting, more authentic expression, and landscapes that, as one critic put it, “get to the heart of the matter... full of dynamism, energy, and movement.”
A treat for fans of landscape painting, no matter what their preferred media for painting, Charlie is revealing his complete system in this comprehensive course — a special combined edition featuring both his studio and plein air approaches in one complete package.
In this exclusive Mastering Acrylic Landscapes course, you’ll begin with an in-depth studio session where Charlie walks you through his “5-question” roadmap using detailed explanations, PowerPoint presentations, and real-world examples.
Then watch as he applies these principles in two complete demonstrations — first creating a breathtaking forest landscape from start to finish in the studio, followed by a plein air painting session where he tackles the challenges of working outdoors.
Meet Your New Instructor, Charlie Easton!
Charlie Easton comes from a distinguished artistic lineage spanning generations — from his mother, a textile designer, to his great-great grandfather, who was sculptor to the king. This rich heritage informs his bold, dynamic approach to landscape painting.
As one of the youngest artists ever awarded the prestigious SFCA (Senior Signature Member) designation by the Federation of Canadian Artists, Charlie has established himself as a commanding voice in contemporary acrylic painting.
His distinctive style strips landscapes down to their essence, creating powerful works that resonate with viewers who have also “felt the insane power of nature.”
Charlie’s work is heavily influenced by the iconic Group of Seven, Canada’s revolutionary plein air painters, as well as contemporary masters like Marcia Burtt and Joe Gyurcsak.
His unique artistic vision has earned him recognition as “a fearless painter” whose work is “full of dynamism, energy, and movement.”
Though he teaches only a few select workshops each year, preferring to focus on his own artistic practice, Charlie recently hosted the first Acrylic Live event for Streamline Publishing — a testament to his growing influence in the acrylic painting community.
When you learn from Charlie, you’re not just gaining techniques, you’re gaining a complete mindset shift that students describe as transformative: “Charlie has changed the way I think about my art, and the way that I approach any subject.”
