THE STORY: "I learned to paint like an old master
practically overnight! As a teenager, I discovered some
tricks, some secrets, while decorating a cabinet. I
attempted to copy a flowered greeting card, but my
inexperience with oil paints yielded flowers that were quite
different from those on the card. Mine were far more
realistic and three-dimensional! It was easy to see what was
different about my flowers, and I suspected I could apply
the same technique to other objects to good effect. I soon
left for college to study architecture and began to paint in
my free time, applying and refining the secrets I had
discovered. I transferred into an independent study program
for the arts. I attended no painting classes, but met weekly
with a professor, to show my work. I was soon painting
better than all of the art professors and THEY were asking
ME questions about my painting technique! That's when I
left.
"YOU TOO CAN PAINT LIKE AN OLD MASTER! I am willing to share
my secrets with you, and I know you will be surprised by the
quick results obtained using this method. Whether you are a
professional artist, a student, a “Sunday” painter, or even
a non-artist, who wishes to paint like an old master, this
course is for you!" —T.E.Breitenbach
