The journey of being an artist is about getting “better”
Dave believes that with each encounter, he has the chance to raise his skills. He’s broken down the improvements into three areas. See if you agree:
-
Knowledge — He is insanely curious about painting. He studies the masters throughout history by reading their books and studying their paintings.
Delivered with a sense of humor
In his unique, soft-spoken style, Dave uses humor to make his important points stand out. For example, as he shares the reality that snow has many color values, he stresses that you never want to add yellow to your mix. As Dave says…
“In real life, you always wanna avoid the yellow snow!”
Shocking truth revealed: Snow is NOT white!
Most artists, when considering painting a snow scene, make a fundamental mistake. They paint the snow white. It is not white.
There are a huge number of values in snow.
Snow is NOT white: Look closely. This is where Dave shows you exactly how to explore the many values found in snow. His deconstruction is incredibly helpful. Dave breaks down exactly how he mixes and puts down these colors. The effect is amazing … and EASY to do once you know Dave’s secrets!
When you spend time in nature, you begin to realize how much snow takes on the atmospheric colors. The shading is critical, and Dave’s 20-year career has led him to a distinction so foundational to his paintings that he believes it’s the reason they have attracted such a following.
He separates two fundamental color families from one another. He then works with them separately. In his video, Winter Landscapes, Dave will show you exactly how he views these two worlds of color and how you can easily use the same technique.
“I learned this by failing a lot!”
— Dave Santillanes
You’ll be able to condense decades of his trial-and-error attempts when you get Winter Landscapes. And you’ll realize just how easy — and profound — this color separation is, and why it matters.
This ONE part of the video will literally save you years of struggle and have you getting compliments on your paintings like you can’t imagine!
Dave Santillanes’ video Winter Landscapes also includes:
- How to analyze the scene

Imagine personally learning from this master
Just imagine what it would be like to learn from Dave Santillanes personally. He could show you how he begins with the scene and ends up with a winter landscape painting that almost defies description.
What would that be worth? How long would you need to really absorb what he’s teaching you? Would it be a couple of days, a week, longer?
Well, thanks to our video team, we’ve captured Dave as he practices his magic in his studio. In this video, he talks to you as if you are right there with him.
Plus, unlike in real life, you’ll be able to hit pause. You can even have him back up and repeat what he said and show you again (and again) his highly refined and proven techniques.
This video is a MUST HAVE for you, no matter your current skill level.
As Dave says, “The whole journey of being an artist is about getting better as a painter.”
Be TRUE to yourself
Dave shares the point when his career really took off. He knows exactly when it happened. He was talking with someone who was admiring one of his paintings and said to Dave, “I know exactly where you were standing when you painted that.”
But this WAS NOT POSSIBLE. In signature Dave style, he had “built” that painting by incorporating landscape elements that were not actually in the viewfinder frame but found elsewhere in that natural landscape.
And, using his creative license and keen design eye, he built the scene and then painted it.
It turns out, the viewer told Dave where he was standing, and HE WAS RIGHT!
How is this possible? Dave discovered in that one painting, he had captured the core essence of that scene, and it came through to that viewer so clearly and powerfully.
Dave knew at that moment exactly how that happened. And for the first time anywhere, he will reveal how he did it in THIS video!
The hidden problem with photos
Dave used to paint from photos. But then he discovered a huge flaw. In fact, it revealed itself in EVERY painting he ever did that was from a photo.
This FLAW will be obvious to you also; once you know the problem, you’ll never be able to see photos the same way again. Dave will tell you exactly what the problem is and his genius tactic for addressing it.
“If you’re studying from photos, you’re missing half the information out there.”
— Dave Santillanes
Are you a painter or a storyteller?
Dave has a method that allows him to become fully involved in his paintings. He uses multiple focal points to walk the viewer through the story he has captured.
To do this, he has taken a drastic step. Once you learn what it is, it may seem counterintuitive. But the proof is in his finished winter landscapes that have captured the hearts and minds of viewers. He’s even captured a LOT of prize money from the competitions he’s entered.
This ONE drastic step just might be the “X factor” you are missing from your paintings.
When you get Dave’s Winter Landscapesvideo, you’ll see him take this ONE step. He will explain why he does this and how it has brought his painting to a whole new level.
A bonus included with Dave Santillanes’ Winter Landscape video:
You’ll get Dave’s 7-point eye-leading formula!

Apply all of the diamonds with their corresponding sections until it is complete.
Once your canvas is full of diamonds, your art work will be complete.
Setting Up
- Choose a place to set up where you feel comfortable, we recommend ensuring that it’s an area where you have plenty of space and light.
- Have your wax and diamond pen handy and pour the diamonds in to the tray, one color at a time. Do not combine different colors of diamonds in your tray as this will become confusing.
- Make sure your diamond pen nib is filled with wax (this won’t require very much wax) then place each diamond one by one. Refill the wax when needed (you will notice that you need a little more wax if the diamonds are not sticking to the pen).
Helpful Tips
- Choose each colour one by one, you can start with smaller colors, which have less diamonds and then work your way up to the bigger sections.
- Complete a whole diamond color first, do not stop and then start and do not combine multiple colors in your diamond tray as they will become very difficult to keep track of.
- There should be no gap between the diamonds.
- Take a picture of your blank canvas on your phone, if you make a mistake, this will help you to find it later by zooming in on the image.
