You’ll also get to see my personal interview with Karl, and a show of his best paintings, plus two BONUS videos that you don’t want to miss!

Developing Your Own Unique Style

One of the most incredible things about Karl is that over the years he has developed a unique style that sets him apart from every other landscape artist. Having a signature style while still producing high-quality artwork is a dream for nearly every artist, and one of the best ways you can achieve that dream is to learn from this modern master. You don’t have to copy Karl’s style — he will tell you how to discover your own unique style.

As you watch and paint right along with Karl, one of the first things you’ll notice is how relaxed and confident he is — a natural state for this highly accomplished professional artist who has enjoyed a long and successful career. Spend time with Karl by way of this video, and you’ll just want to soak up everything he generously offers. You’ll see what he does that makes his paintings highly recognizable, and how you can take what you’re learning and apply it to your own artwork.
