The Peony Universe

Dennis Perrin and The Perrin Method™ is happy to announce The Peony Universe – Painting the World’s Most Beautiful Flower.

This live streaming online course features the Peony season in Southern Maine, and the full, glorious bloom of his Peony Garden.

This course is for anyone who wants to “crack the code” on the elusive, seductive, and exquisite Peony as a subject for painting.

Master Painter Dennis Perrin, recognized as one of this generations' leading painters, will lead you through his patented method of painting step-by-step, with a calm, soothing demeanor, allowing you to easily explore one of the most interesting and captivating of all artistic subjects.

Why would I want to take this course?

All of our courses are designed to take you, the Artist, to a new place in your understanding of what great painting really is. There is so much more to painting than mere technique.

Together, we will explore the depth and breadth of the painting world by learning the importance of the Quiet Mind and the power of painting with intentionality.

Any painter, regardless of level, would find in this course, revolutionary new ways of thinking about painting, as well as techniques and materials that will allow the painter to evolve to a whole new level of understanding in executing their paintings.

Dennis Perrin, a Master Painter and Teacher, with over 30 years of experience, will demonstrate the power of thought in transforming your art into a powerful expression of who you really are!

From Past students of our Peony Courses:

"Thank you Dennis! I will never look at a peony the same way! I feel encouraged and with time will go over again and again all materials offered, hopefully make some more improvements to my work. I can’t wait till my newly planted peony garden grows and gives me wonderful flowers to paint from..thank you for sharing so completely your thinking, and always a quick response to any comments or questions we might have. Also thank to Camille and Aimee. Cheers to all!"
– L.N.

"Your instruction on mindset and vision are as valuable as the tangible techniques you shared with such gusto! Well done and I’m sure I’ll be in another class with you! Thank you!"
– S.B.

"I have studied with many nationally known painters. but this class and its' cutting edge presentation has truly been inspirational. Reviewing the videos numerous times has finally cemented a process that is entirely new to me! Dennis' commentary also has led me to a whole new way of thinking in the abstract so that I am painting the essence of a subject, not a realistic rendition. I am excited beyond words and am looking forward to the next segment. Thanks so much Dennis."
– C.D.

There are many teachers who teach excellent technique through the medium of recorded video and even through live-streaming online.

But at The Perrin Method™ we combine the technology of interactive live-streaming, recorded video, worldwide community, and even direct access for questions and answers, and all of this with content that remains available for a lifetime, long after the course is completed.

On top of that, we bring to life, through careful, step-by-step instruction, the power of meditation, imagination, and intentionality in bringing your complete self to the easel every time you attempt to paint.

Dennis will take you right into the garden with him as he masterfully renders these luscious beauties into paint!

Peonies have long been one his favorite subjects, and his most coveted paintings, and he is now ready to share with you and the world his secrets for capturing this elusive subject onto canvas.

Through high quality live & recorded video and in the moment narration, Perrin will share live demonstrations direct from his garden and studio.

I then invite them to step slightly back and see that the painting is mounted on their easel, just below is their palette covered in swirls of paint, with brushes and paraphernalia nearby. I also invite them to “see” their own hand and to realize that they are the artist that created this painting.

 

Through this process, the student enters the role of being the creator of this work and sets the stage for them to now “allow” the painting to come into being in real, physical terms.
