Painting to Gogh Scenic USA Kit
Creating realistic landscapes requires more than talent—it requires instruction, practice, and the right materials. The Scenic USA Kit from Painting to Gogh provides all three in a complete art program commissioned exclusively for Timberdoodle.
Through artist-led video instruction, your teen will create three landscape paintings while learning foundational acrylic painting techniques, including layering, shading, blending, composition, and creating depth. Each project focuses on specific artistic skills, helping students understand how artists use color, light, texture, and perspective to bring a scene to life.
The featured paintings include the reflective waters of Alaskan Whalesong, the glowing forest scene of Frosted Sunbeams, and the rugged terrain of Rocky Mountain Hike. As students progress through the projects, they'll build confidence as they create finished artwork worthy of display.
The kit includes professional-quality acrylic paints, brushes, pre-stretched canvases, and step-by-step video instruction with two years of streaming access. Students can pause, replay, and revisit lessons as often as needed, making the program approachable for beginners while still providing meaningful artistic instruction.
Whether your teen is developing artistic skills, exploring a new creative interest, or working toward a high school fine arts credit, The Scenic USA Kit provides structured guidance, quality materials, and beautiful projects that make learning to paint both achievable and rewarding.
How to Use the Scenic USA Kit
- Begin by selecting one of the three featured landscapes: Alaskan Whalesong, Frosted Sunbeams, or Rocky Mountain Hike. Students may complete the paintings in any order.
- Set aside a regular block of time for painting. Many students find that 30–60 minute sessions provide enough time to make meaningful progress, while others prefer completing larger portions of a painting in a single sitting.
- Before beginning each project, gather the included materials and start the corresponding video lesson. The artist-led instruction walks students through each stage of the painting process, demonstrating techniques and explaining how each layer contributes to the finished scene.
- Encourage your student to pause, rewind, and revisit sections of the instruction as needed. With two years of streaming access, there is plenty of time to work carefully and refine new skills.
- As the projects progress, students will practice layering, shading, blending, texture, composition, and the use of light and color to create realistic landscapes. These techniques build from one painting to the next, helping students gain confidence and artistic skill.
- When all three paintings are complete, display them together as a collection and take time to reflect on the growth that occurred throughout the process. Beyond three finished canvases, your student will have developed a stronger understanding and appreciation of acrylic painting techniques and artistic composition.

Painting to Gogh arrived with our tenth grade curriculum kit. My son wasn't super keen on the idea, but once he started painting he found he really enjoyed it. Great way to add art into our school year!
