Okay, so what is it?
A year of learning to say more with fewer brushstrokes. Brian paints the farms, coastlines, prairies and mountains he loves as loose, abstracted impressions: big shapes, splashes of color and nothing fussy. Each week you'll paint one Canadian scene alongside him, and little by little you'll find your own looser, freer way of painting.
What Others Are Saying:

"Evening Colours #52 ‘Lascie’ NFL #Brian Buckrell #Paint Across Canada. Thankyou Brian for a very happy time painting across Canada. Hardly seems possible that it’s been a year past to have enjoyed the journey with you!"
"I haven't posted weekly at all but I have been painting. Here are paintings number 1 - 26 of our year long journey with Brian Buckrell. I've learned some new things and new habits as well. Thanks Brian!"
"Brian's painting across Canada #1- My first challenge in a while; happy to be back! This is going to be really good for me!!"
"Hello! This is my first AU challenge. I joined the Paint Canada challenge last year, but just started. I'm not working in order, just jumping in on paintings that speak to me - there are so many and I love Brian's style! This was a fun one to get me started. think I need to be more careful with my values (my rocks are off). I'm travelling and I don't have an easel with me, so will need to try propping my painting up and stepping back to see this better."

Frequently Asked Questions
When does it start?
Your first lesson arrives on Friday, January 1, and a new lesson follows every Friday for 52 weeks.
Can I give it as a gift?
Yes! Choose the gift option at checkout. It makes a lovely Christmas gift for the painter in your life.
What if I can't paint every week?
That's completely fine. Many painters take longer than a year, and that's okay. The lessons are yours for life, so you can paint when it suits you and pick up wherever you left off.
Do I need to be an Acrylic University member?
No. The Miniature Painting Challenge is its own program. You don't need a membership to join.
