In week nine, instructor Stapleton Kearns continues his painting in Cypress Grove, one of the most popular areas at Point Lobos, which is known for its grove of beautiful cypress trees. Stapleton spends two days here to show you two main stages of landscape painting. Here, you will focus on the second stage: Refinement.

Throughout this course, you’ll have access to the NMA community for feedback and critiques to improve your work as you progress.
