What They're Saying...

Michael Chesley Johnson knows how to pack a lot into a small package – whether it’s his painting gear or a 5” x 7” landscape painting. Being a master of the essential is no mean feat. Michael Chesley Johnson’s latest book, Backpacker Painting, will reward the attentive reader with a wealth of outdoor painting know-how for a no-nonsense, no-frills approach to outdoor painting in every season, day and night. - Carl Judson, Judson's Art Outfitters

I took it to our plein air group meeting and it was received with happy sounds. It's already loaned to a member ... the group was impressed and pleased with it. And this is not an easy group to impress. - Kitty Wallis

In the tradition of Rick Steve’s “less is more” guides for the traveler, Michael Chesley Johnson’s Backpacker Painting offers painters excellent guidelines for carrying the lightest load possible without sacrificing any of the necessary tools for a successful plein air experience. As well, the instruction Michael offers on limited (and lightweight!) palettes that can meet the color mixing needs of the landscape is sure to benefit artists looking to reduce the quantity of materials and time required to prepare for a painting trip. - Briana Ragone-Ball, Gamblin Artists Colors

Oil DVD Now Available - Backpacker Painting: Oil on Location

I'm proud to announce that the second of two companion DVDs to my book in now available. Backpacker Painting: Oil on Location again takes you to the red hills of Sedona, Arizona, where I show you how I paint the landscape en plein air using the medium of oil. You'll see how I simplify the landscape and along the way, I'll explain my approach to handling value, design and color.

Oil on Location is 52 minutes long and includes two bonus segments totalling 8 minutes.

Both DVDs are available for purchase on my website via PayPal for $40 (USD) each + $5 shipping (to US and Canada).

If you get the DVDs, you'll also want the book! The book contains lots of information that simply doesn't fit into an hour-long video. The book is available for $45+$5 shipping and can be ordered from the website.

By the way, you can combine shipping. Contact us and we will issue an adjusted invoice.
