Hello, my name is Troy McFarland, and I’m thrilled to share my passion for landscape painting with you. Originally from Southern California, I grew up surrounded by some of the most breathtaking and diverse landscapes in the world—from the rolling foothills and towering mountains to the vast deserts and the endless Pacific coastline. These natural wonders deeply inspired me and sparked my lifelong love for art.

From a young age, it was clear that art was more than just a hobby for me—it was a calling. In school, my teachers often used my artwork as a benchmark for other students, and my classmates would gather around, watching as I brought scenes to life with each stroke. I knew then that sharing the beauty of painting with others was something I was meant to do.

To refine my skills, I attended the prestigious Laguna College of Art and Design, where I studied under industry experts and fine art masters. However, I quickly learned that true mastery goes beyond formal education—it comes from relentless practice, experimentation, and a deep understanding of technique. After dedicating thousands of hours to perfecting my craft, I’ve developed a unique, approachable teaching style that makes learning to paint landscapes both fun and effective.

Now, I’m here to help you unlock your own creative potential. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an artist looking to refine your skills, my step-by-step methods will guide you in creating stunning, captivating landscapes with confidence and ease. Let’s embark on this artistic journey together—I can't wait to see what you create!
