Kevin Macpherson approaches painting through a simple, structured system, which he explains in detail in his art workshops. Here, learn the three habits you should apply now to improve your process for painting the landscape, and more.
As artists, we think and see differently from the normal person. When people glance at the world and walk on, we stop. Where people see a landscape, we see fragments of light and color waiting to become a painting.
That’s the artist’s eye.
But here’s what no one talks about. Having the eye and knowing how to translate what we see to become paintings that communicate these wonders — those are two very different things.
The problem? Without the right visual language, your paintings could keep feeling flat. And this isn’t because you lack talent. No one ever taught you the language.
Enter Kevin Macpherson.
Kevin has spent 40 years developing, refining, and teaching that exact system — a framework he calls the Macpherson Magic Grid Method. It is a visual training guide. A language of shapes. A mosaic method for building paintings the way a master painter actually sees them. And as Kevin himself says: “It’s so simple, it’s almost illegal.”
