Friends and family try to be kind. They’ll say things like “nice color” or offer other empty compliments for your paintings because they don’t want to hurt your feelings.
But have you ever had a friend walk into your house and say, “Who did this painting?” — and then see them in disbelief when you say it was you?
I had that happen to me recently, and I have to admit it felt pretty darned good when they said, “You did this? Really? Wow, your work sure has improved.”
What is really special is that everything changed in one week. One week of intense study and commitment to a particular style made a huge difference, a huge leap in my quality, and a huge change in how I was painting.
Imagine showing your friends one of your own paintings and then being asked who the artist is.
It would feel pretty good when you tell them it’s your own work, right?
The reality is that a small amount of time with a great instructor can make a big difference. In fact, watching one master artist on a video, painting along, and then practicing that technique over and over again for just a week can make a monumental change in your painting ability.
What if you could learn to paint in a new way that would make people leap up and take notice like never before?
What if you did not have to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars traveling to a workshop or paying for one-to-one coaching, but still got the benefits for a fraction of the investment?
What are we talking about?
Learning how to paint with a palette knife.
See, one of the most impressive skills you can master as an artist is painting with a knife...
Not many can do it.
Even fewer can do it well.
It’s tricky.
In fact, it’s almost a separate art form in itself.
Which is why those people who can do it well are able to create paintings that look far better than the average painter’s.
