Create Sophisticated Works of Art - Teaching Art ebook
Here’s what usually happens when people want to learn to paint:
They choose a teacher from the thousands and thousands available. Join a course. Then they end up painting ONLY what the teacher paints, and ONLY the way (the style) the teacher paints.
So when they finish the course or workshop, they find they cannot create the subjects they want to create, nor are they equipped to paint those subjects the way they want to.
So they choose another teacher, hoping they can get a bit more info in how to achieve what they want. The same thing happens. They learn only what that teacher can paint, and how that teacher can do it.
None of these artists-to-be can ever create to their satisfaction, although some are content with their amateur or hobby-quality results and of these most don’t know the difference between that hobby quality and the vastly superior satisfaction and power of professional quality painting.
Perhaps ironically, but certainly true in practice, it is far easier to paint with advanced, professional techniques than it is with basic, hobby-quality techniques because you are using the right tool for the job. Unfortunately, many do not know this.
So basic paintings are produced all over the place, with those going on to also teach those basic techniques.
Poor knowledge = poor quality paintings = poor teaching = poor knowledge and so it goes, in a cycle.
The video which shows that anyone can paint with Advanced Techniques, therefore anyone can do these courses:

This is the Big Kahuna of oil painting courses. It cannot be stressed more strongly, however, how easy it is to do this course. I have looked far and wide and have not found a single course that goes anywhere near this course in terms of: > Quality of production > Quality of results students achieve. I set out to make the best art course in the world, and I think it is. It provides three camera angles, took over nine months to make. The cost of this course should be in the $thousands. However, my philosophy is driven by a need to get better knowledge into the world of art teaching so it is priced to be accessible.
