years of practice!
This method will help you overcome those challenges saving you years of trial and errors!
If you’re like most painters, you’ve got a head full of ideas and a stack of canvases that never quite turned out how you imagined.
You watch demos. You buy more brushes and paints.
You try another “quick tip” video.
But when you stand in front of the canvas, there’s still that nagging doubt:
“How do I actually pull this together from start to finish… every time?”
That’s exactly what the Moore Method of Painting 2.0 — 8-Week Online Master Class is built to solve.
This isn’t just another “follow along and hope you learn something” class.
It’s a complete, structured painting system from the Learn To Paint Academy, designed to give you control, confidence and consistently better landscapes and seascapes. At the end of 8 weeks you will dramatically improve your painting skills.

This isn’t just another painting class…
You don’t need more random techniques. You need a reliable process.
The core of the Moore Method is simple:
Step 1 – Draw It
Step 2 – Block It In
Step 3 – Detail It
With Moore Method 2.0, we take that simplicity and build on it with a clear, studio-tested framework:
* how to plan a painting before you start
* how to control value and light
* how to build atmosphere and depth
* how to use brushwork and edges to lead the eye
* how to actually finish paintings instead of fiddling forever
So you’re not just painting more… you’re painting better.

From “hit-and-miss” to repeatable results
You stop guessing and start following a sequence. Each stage has a purpose. You’ll know what to do first, second, third — and why.
You finally master the foundations others skim over
Value, composition, simplification, edges — the stuff that really makes paintings work. We don’t rush past it. We build on it.
You make every brushstroke count
Instead of poking at the canvas hoping something improves, you’ll develop deliberate brushwork, clean colour and purposeful texture.
You finish more paintings (and like them more)
No more abandoned canvases turned to “wipe-offs.” The method is designed to carry you all the way through to a resolved, display-worthy work.
You grow into your own style, not a clone of someone else
The structure is fixed, but your choices are not. As you become fluent in the method, your personality and taste show through in the work.
You’re investing in a long-term skill, not a one-off class
Once you understand the Moore Method, you can apply it to any landscape subject you like. One course, years of painting mileage.
So... I developed this method that will help you paint something unique & at the same time have a blast creating!

Perfecting Your Masterpiece
In week 1 we go through the basics you need to get you started. We take an indepth look at the materials you will need, and learn more about paint, how to mix paint and more.We also explore deciding on what to paint and what style of painting you may wish to pursure. This first week sets you up for success in the program.

In week 2 we start to learn about how to create three dimensional form in the elements in a painting. We do a number of values studies and learn how to mix the right values we need. We learn all about our 5 step painting process and how to apply it. Then we have a go at our first simple landscape painting. We approach this painting using the 5 steps and a limited palette. This is a simple landscape you can do to learn the basic concepts and start to build your confidence.

In week 3 we take these same lessons and complete a simple seascape painting with dramatic cliff faces. In this painting we focus on capturing a feeling of light on the cliffs. Then we start to take a more in depth look at the various elements to be found in a landscape painting. We discover the key things to focus on to make each of your elements take on more form and dimension. This alone will greatly improve your painting.

In week 4 we start to look at the all important concept of Aerial Perspective. In order to have your landscape paintings take on greater depth and atmosphere there are certain keys we can apply that build a sense of Aerial Perspective. And we complete a more complex landscape in which we have both a lot of depth and atmosphere, and a more complex element in the main tree.
After you finish this project you will have greatly improved your painting skills.

In week 5 we look at what is known as the Painterly Approach to painting which is a key to Impressionist style painting.
And we complete a Seascape painting that further builds on our knowledge of Aerial Perspective. In this painting we will create a lot of depth and distance in the painting scene.

In week 6 we switch our focus to taking a look at what some of the great master artists from history did. We will complete three studies in our sketchbook which will give you a framework then to go on and complete your own master studies as part of your art practice.

In week 7 we revisit the idea of creating detph and atmosphere in our paintings. Now we introduce a more advanced palette which gives us a greater range of colours to create our paintings from. And we introduce the all important concepts of temperature and saturation of paint as key tools artists use to create stunning looking paintings.

Finally in week 8 we complete our master piece painting.
In this larger more complex painting we take everything we have studied over the past 8 weeks and bring it all to one larger more considered painting. By the time you get to this stage you will have advanced your skills and knowledge well beyond anything you could have achieved as a hobby artist.

As a bonus project we look at how to take a photo reference and turn it into a painting that has a narrative and emotional resonance with viewers.

As a beginner artist, I have learned new skills from the Next Level Painting Challenge, with Rod Moore. Painting with more paint, bolder brush strokes and using a palette knife combined to allow me to progress my art to a higher level. Watching and painting along with Rod, in a supportive group was invaluable in giving me the confidence to try new things and I think it shows in the paintings I have produced in this challenge. I recommend Rod Moore art to anyone wishing to progress their art , and for starting artists.

I have been painting for many years but wanted to find some extra tuition so that I could keep learning. I have found so much to help me in Rod's Learn to Paint Academy. You will never run out of projects to do! I have continued to learn from Rod's challenges and have found the LTPA community very supportive. I have met some of the members personally and also enjoy arty friendships with people from around the world. I highly recommend PTPA and Rod's warm teaching manner.

“Blocking in” in the Moore Method of Painting was, and still is, an absolute revelation! You could say a eureka moment in my painting journey thus far. My paintings before were always disappointingly flat. I found it so frustrating that I didn’t know how to bring things to life.
Then I happened on Rod Moore. After following one of his challenges everything changed for me so that I can at least produce a painting I feel happy with.
Using a limited palette starting out is so helpful. Learning to colour mix from just three primary colours and white teaches you so much about the values of the colours you use. Depth perception is a tricky thing to master, but the Moore Method breaks it down into bite size chunks that are easy to follow, but more importantly gives you the confidence to just have a go. I joined the Learn to Paint Academy (LTPA) and have never looked back.

Step-by-Step Instruction That Builds Real Skill: You’ll get lifetime access to eight structured modules designed to guide you from blank canvas to finished landscape, one clear stage at a time. Each lesson is practical, easy to follow, and focused on helping you create paintings you’re genuinely proud to hang or gift—not just exercises that never go anywhere.
Structure, Simplicity & Confident, Painterly Results: We focus on simplifying complex scenes into values, shapes, and atmosphere so you can paint landscapes that feel loose, modern, and expressive—without getting lost in detail. You’ll learn how to create depth, space, and light through purposeful brushwork, thoughtful composition, and refined colour choices.
Enjoy the Process—Not Just the Outcome: This course isn’t about perfection or copying every blade of grass. It’s about enjoying painting again. You’ll be encouraged to explore colour, embrace expressive marks, and develop your own voice while working within a method that gives you structure and confidence.
Designed for Everyday Painters Who Want to Improve: Whether you're a beginner, a hobby painter, or someone returning to art after a long break, this class gives you the foundations you need to paint with clarity and purpose. No prior experience is required—just enthusiasm and a willingness to learn.
This is the original Moore Method of Painting taught over 5 days as a painting challenge. It's ideally suited to beginners looking to get started painting and take their first steps with painting. The entire process of creating a painting is broken down for you into simple easy to follow steps.

Designed for the absolute beginner the Introduction To Painting will give you a quick start, easy to follow, approach to painting for the first time.

In week 3 we take these same lessons and complete a simple seascape painting with dramatic cliff faces. In this painting we focus on capturing a feeling of light on the cliffs. Then we start to take a more in depth look at the various elements to be found in a landscape painting. We discover the key things to focus on to make each of your elements take on more form and dimension. This alone will greatly improve your painting.

When you join us at the Learn To Paint Academy you are no longer trying to learn to paint on your own. You will be joining our global community of artists that reaches all corners of the globe and all experience levels. You will be amongst friends who are there to help.

Answers to all of your questions below ...
No. If you’re a determined beginner or early-stage intermediate, you’re in the right place. I walk you through each stage step-by-step. If you’ve painted before, you’ll move faster — but you don’t need to be “advanced” to benefit.
The core training is pre-recorded, so you can watch whenever it suits you, pause, rewind and paint at your own pace. Depending on the cohort, there may also be scheduled live Q&A / critique sessions — those are recorded and added to the course area.
The method works beautifully in acrylics or oils. I’ll explain materials and options so you can adapt to what you prefer to use. The principles of value, composition, colour and edges remain the same.
The program is structured as an 8-week master class, but you have lifetime access. Many students follow along week by week; others spread it over a few months. If you’re newer to painting, expect to spend more time on exercises — which is a good thing
We address practical working methods inside the course. If you’re using acrylics, I’ll give you options for slowing drying time and managing your palette. If you’re using oils, we’ll look at simple medium choices and drying considerations.
No. If you have a dedicated easel, use it. If not, you can work flat on a table or temporary setup. What matters is good light, a sensible palette layout and a way to leave work to dry safely — all covered in Module 1.
Yes. The paintings you complete using the Moore Method are your original works. You’re free to keep them, gift them or sell them if you wish.
Good. The goal isn’t to copy my hand stroke-for-stroke. The goal is to learn the process so your work improves and your own style develops. Early on, you’ll make mistakes — that’s normal. The method gives you a way to correct and improve them.
You get lifetime access to the master class, including any future updates to Moore Method 2.0 inside this course area.
No problem. This is not a live bootcamp that disappears after 8 weeks. You can pause, return and pick up exactly where you left off. The only way to “fail” is to stop painting altogether.
Yes. Work through the first two modules. If you genuinely feel the Moore Method isn’t helping you, contact us within 30 days and we’ll refund your enrollment. I’m only interested in keeping students who are getting value.
