Whenever I watch a talented artist paint, I always learn something new. I actually own a few paintings by this master landscape painter, Dennis Sheehan. He and I are inspired by many of the same forefathers of landscape painting – the Barbizon painters, the Luminists, and the Tonalists. I have always dreamed of attending one of his popular workshops back east, watching this video is the next best thing!
I hope you enjoy this intertaining ’speed video’ demonstration by an artist with real bravado! Let me know what you think…

About Lori McNee
Awesome video Lori!
I thought he was going to paint an abstract at first when he started swooshing dark colours around the canvas, before I knew it I could see the trees and reflections appearing. Amazing artist.
How did he learn his style? Are there books/tutorials online for that style??
All the best!

Hi Ronnie…
You know, I will try and find out how Dennis developed his technique. I know a few artists who work with him…
He is fun to watch. I am glad you enjoyed it too!

awesome video. thanks for posting and I’ll check out his site.
Hi Robert. Thanks for the visit and comment! Glad you liked the video as much as I did.

Pretty neat to watch this come together. I too thought it was going to be an abstract when he first started painting. I hear a lot of painters talk about painting abstract patterns and shapes when they paint, but this is one of the first times I’ve seen someone start their painting that way. Thanks for posting it Lori!
Hello George. Glad you enjoyed this video and learned a thing or two! I always enjoy the opportunity to watch a master at work. Dennis has such a command over that brush!

Great site. A lot of useful information here. I’m sending it to some friends!
Dennis is so fun to watch – I felt like he was a conductor – while his paints were the notes and the brush and knife – the instruments.
And as a symphony fan – Bravo!
Hi Dale-
I would love to watch Dennis paint in person someday, but video is the next best thing!

Dennis, what a great surprise finding you here! Thank you for your nice invitation…I just might take you up on it one day! I don’t know if you remember me or not, but I bought two of your paintings back about 8 years ago. They are the stars of my home. Thanks for sharing your inspiration with us all.
cheers,
Lori
