You Can Advance Beyond Those Painters on TV
When you watch the painters on tv paint their landscapes or florals in 27 minutes or so it can look impressive if this is all the painting you have seen.
If you have seen good painting, you know this is not the best way to paint. It is not the way the greatest painter of the past have painted.
This is a landscape painting by John Constable.
Here is another landscape, with water by Pierre Renoir..
I hope you can see the difference between these paintings and the paintings done by the wet-on-wet painters on tv.
Don’t think you could paint like that? Well, take a look at this…
That painting is by me.
And I have something to tell you…I Started Out Painting Like The Painters On TV Too!
If you are really serious about painting better, you can do it! Everyone likes to learn something new. If you have the information that I have talked about here, you are on your way to painting better pictures.
Let me explain…
You don’t learn to paint a landscape, flowers, or whatever subject matter you wish to paint.
You don’t learn subject matter. You learn to paint! You learn the rules of your art supplies and the language of paint. You can then apply this knowledge to anything you want to paint.
Wouldn’t you rather be painting in a way similar to Monet and Rembrandt? Become master of your medium. Master of your tools. One technique for one type of subject matter will not satisfy you. If you have always wanted to become a more advanced painter, you need to take that next step.
Why do you think you never see these things done on tv?
They can’t be done painting this way. If you still want to paint a landscape, how about YOUR backyard.
If you are content painting this way, I cannot help you. Our lessons will not be for you. It is only for people who have an interest in learning to improve and become better.
If you learn the alphabet, you can spell any word. Essentially what you are doing by painting in the manner you are is just learning how to write the letter “A”.
How can you expect to spell any word you want without learning the other 25 letters?
You have gained some experience by using painting supplies though. This is a start. Now it is time to take that next step and learn more.
Learn the way painters have been painting for hundreds of years. That is what you can get here.
In fact when I started painting, I painted the same way you did. Following the painters on TV.
But now, I can paint anything, and any way I want to.You too can go beyond your current painting you are doing and paint the way the greatest masters in history have painted.

Of course you can paint better. If you make the effort and receive the proper instruction. Have you looked into the home study course? – The Insider guide to the secrets of oil painting – http://www.1oilpainting.com/products/

This post is going to be in 2 stages, so check back to see the final stages.
As far as your other comment about light and dark. Of course you can get light and dark, you just never have been shown the proper way to do so.
I really like getting the painting done in one day, especially for painting outdoors on location. Please discuss how that can be done.
