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!
 
"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
