Asking WHY

And then I FINALLY came up with a discovery- my Painting Transformation- which was really a lesson from a child

and as simple as it sounds, this is what I started doing, asking why....

After years and years of going back and forth and learning new things here and there and trying to disregard the things I didn’t need to know and gravitate to the things that made sense, I started to gain more confidence

I gained courage to ask why at classes and workshops while the teachers talked, a few teachers explained why, many didn’t

But it was really a discovery for myself and I started asking myself why throughout the painting process

I broke everything down in the painting and determined why things weren’t working based off smaller aspects of the painting.  I shared my discovery with my friends and they wanted me to teach them ...I didn’t really want to teach, I wanted to paint, but they kept insisting so I did  and then more and more people asked me to teach.  Then I made my still life course, landscape course, and then the Art Masters Program and now my super course Dan's WEEKLY PAINTING CLASS.

But what really matters from all of this is that I got over my frustrations and did the long discovery work.   I am just really excited and anxious to share my discoveries with you and help you on your painting journey!

There’s just no need to go through what I did and to struggle through many years of trying to figure it out and stumble from problem to problem

I think I can really help you have fun with your painting while at the same time making excellent paintings to show off to your friends and family

So here’s what you’re going to get:

Every Monday, you are going to get an email from me with a link that will take you to our private membership site that will contain the weeks materials

4 Paintings a Month on Still Life and Portrait/Figure and some landscape. I want to give you a variety of subject matter so that you can be a well rounded artist who loves painting.

Two (2) of the paintings will be delivered as video demos where I paint them from start to finish and the other 2 will be delivered with pictures of the setups and a video description of how I suggest you paint them.

- Marketing Tips/Modules - I found out the hard way it’s one thing to be a great painter, but it’s another thing to know how to market your paintings and be able to sell them and to make a living off of your paintings. I give you action plans and blue prints on how to do these things in bite size pieces. This part of the course is going to be a lot of fun too while you learn a lot.

- Fun Biweekly Challenges ...win prizes

- Motivational Tips - Let’s face it, sometimes we’re not motivated or feeling up to putting that brush on the canvas. That’s where I come in - I’m going to give you motivational tips that will drive the inner artist in you to get your butt in front of that easel to paint and love it. We can all use motivation and I think this is a HUGE part of becoming a good artist.

- Advanced Painting Tips - I’m also going to give you awesome advanced painting tips that are designed to help you grow as an artist. These tips will be different from my old tips and will be designed to take your art to a New Level. They will be more hands on concepts.

LIVE Webinars - These awesome live webinars (Live online video discussions...don't worry we will show you how to do this) are designed to talk about where you are at with your paintings. We are going to have at least 3 of these every month depending on enrollment demands. This is the time where I will be critiquing, answering questions, discussing marketing modules and talking about the months paintings. You will be able to send in questions during the Webinar and I’ll answer them during the event. If you can’t make it to the Live Webinar, no problem, we will record them and have them available on our Weekly Painting Class Members Only Website for you to watch at any time.

DVD of demo (optional)

Questions that have come up:

I know that some of you may have already taken my still life and landscape course or you might even be in the middle or just starting it

That’s no problem

This weekly class is going to cover a lot more material and is material that you don’t want to miss, wherever you’re at in your painting journey

I would recommend getting on board with this since it’s only available for five days or until the spots sell out.  Do the other class on the weeks where there isn’t as much material for the weekly class. You will also have weeks during the class that you just don't connect with the painting I give and this will be a great opportunity to replace it with one from the other course. Otherwise you will have to wait an entire year until I open up the class again.

Weekly might scare some of you - I know it would scare me - schedules scare me...But this course is delivered on a weekly basis and the members only website is organized in a nice way so you can easily find everything.  You can always come back to things you didn’t have time to watch or that you want to watch again.

And don’t worry if you don’t do EVERY painting

I don’t expect that at all - just do what’s most comfortable for you

If you paint the paintings, watch the videos and follow along, I think you will have amazing results, and fast too!

I know I mentioned this before but some people are worried if they don’t paint the way I do, are they still going to benefit from this class?

Yes - my teaching strategies apply to many painting styles and techniques because I break down the elements in paintings, and lessons are applicable to other styles

And if you’re going to be gone next week or in a couple months or whenever- it’s okay! You can download the videos and save them on your computer. Once you add to cart and sign up to become a member you will have access to any week that you’ve been a member for. So when you get back from your trip or whatever you’re doing you can jump right in where you left off in the membership site and go to town on the paintings!

What other artists are saying about Dan's classes: click here

Hi Dan, I was one of your first students in the original online course and last year I took your still-life course. I have taken some other online courses and I can tell you, your at far and away the best! It sure shows all the work you have put in and the benefit goes to the students. Your course, the additional videos, information, tips, marketing etc. are amazingly informative and helpful. Your critiques are so well done, no matter what the ability at the time of the student, so helpful and kind. I think my painting progressed by leaps while working with you. I have sold several of the still-lifes I painted. I highly recommend your courses.

Hello Dan, I have taken every one of your courses - still life, landscape and now the Art Masters Program. Since taking your courses, I have made enormous progress in my paintings. From the set up of a still life, to the materials, to the brush strokes - I have learned so much. Books cannot take the place of demonstration and that has made the great difference for me. I have sold many paintings, won some prizes and actually have a local following thanks to what I have learned and continue to learn. Thanks for making be a better artist

Hi Dan, I am not very experienced at ordering things on the internet so it was a bit of a leap of faith for me to order your still life course. However I can honestly say that I am thrilled that I did and I am enjoying each new video even though time doesn't permit me to paint as often as I would like. In my opinion the course is great value for money and you are a natural teacher and generous with your tips and information.
