MEET YOUR NEW INSTRUCTOR:
CHARLIE HUNTER
“Charlie Hunter has the uncanny ability to seize upon the most ordinary things, and transform them with his brush into bewitching jewels of design and artistic perception.” — Richard Schmid
There are few artists as accomplished as Charlie Hunter. With a deft hand and an extraordinary eye for design, Charlie transforms ordinary subjects into breathtaking works of representational art.
Charlie is a graduate of Yale University with a degree in art and graphic design, and his paintings exude both technical brilliance and an ethereal emotional resonance.
As an artist, Charlie is a storyteller in the truest sense. “What is of great importance is how we choose to tell the story,” he says. “What kind of brush marks do you want to use? How much do you want to spell things out? That’s what we painters need to be thinking about.“
His accolades speak volumes. Charlie has taken home first place at major plein air events like Laguna, Door County, Wayne, and Mountain Maryland. He’s been honored as Artists’ Choice in Sedona and earned Best Architecture and Best New Artist awards at Plein Air Easton.
Respected as both a painter and an instructor, Charlie has been a faculty member at numerous Plein Air Conventions and his works are displayed in museums and galleries nationwide. There are few better instructors to lead you on your journey toward painting mastery.
In EDGES: Breakthrough Painting Techniques, Charlie shares his approaches for depicting crisp architectural lines, soft atmospheric hazes, the textures of man-made objects weathered by nature, and so much more. With him as your mentor, you’ll gain new insights into edge control, perspective, value structure, and composing compelling narratives in water-mixable oil paints.
Whether you’re a seasoned painter or an eager novice, learning from Charlie Hunter is an opportunity to elevate your artistry and develop a deeper, more nuanced understanding of the art of creating beautiful paintings.
This is your chance to study under one of the modern masters of representational oil painting!

Introducing CHARLIE HUNTER’s Brand NEW VIDEO:
EDGES: Breakthrough Painting Techniques
In this must-see video, renowned artist Charlie Hunter takes you on a deep dive into the art of depicting both crisp and soft edges, to breathtaking effect.
As an instructor, Hunter is celebrated for his innovative use of the squeegee as a powerful mark-making tool. He’ll reveal techniques honed over years of practice — showing you how to tame this versatile implement to create razor-sharp light/dark contrasts, render beautifully rusted textures, and so much more.
“You’re creating a collection of shapes that when all put together create a narrative — very little detail needed. This [video] teaches you the ‘alphabet’ of mark-making, using squeegees and flat paint brushes together to create words, sentences, stories, epics!”
— Charlie Hunter
Through two start-to-finish painting demonstrations, you’ll discover how strategic edge work can capture the juxtaposition of landscape and man-made elements.
Charlie uses the same reference for each demo, the same inspiring brush and squeegee techniques, so you can learn how different surfaces react to your paint applications and removals to create the look and feel that works for what YOU want to say!
Watch in awe as Charlie transforms an ordinary barn scene, using the squeegee combined with brushwork to evoke the beautiful decay of weathered wood and rusty metal.
You’ll learn how to create narrative through considered mark-making and develop a nuanced approach to edges that elevates your paintings.
Whether you’re a seasoned artist or an enthusiastic newcomer, the lessons you’ll learn inside Charlie Hunter’s EDGES: Breakthrough Painting Techniques will infuse new life and dimension into your art!

Though you can observe the techniques of any artist instantly by watching them demonstrate and by watching the videos repeatedly, please know that, though many artists offer insights that can help people overcome a lot of learning time, every artist learns at their own speed based on their own level of understanding. Painting and drawing bring great joy, though the joy may come from practicing various techniques over and over until you master them. We do not wish to indicate that you, or anyone, can skip the joy of practice and the challenges of getting better. Painting is a lifetime endeavor, and getting good does not typically happen rapidly, or instantly. Your results may vary. And please know that if at any time within 30 days you feel this video has not lived up to your expectations or its promise, we will happily refund your money.
