  • Hi Eric! This is a really cool tutorial/cheat video! lol. It looks amazing. Not sure a first timer could accomplish it the same, but I know with your tips they may be able to get very close, and perhaps with practice do it just as well. I think you know I personally think of art as a more authentic expression BUT, I think this would make such good practice and possibly send one on their way to becoming an artist. Great video for people who would love to paint. 5 stars.

  • About a year and a half ago I began to paint with acrylics with almost no infomation about them. I also could find anything about how to get the results I was looking for. So I made these videos to put out there the technical information I wish I had.

  • I want to make the information as easy as possible so anyone no matter what your level you could follow along. for those who are experimenting with the medium to have that AH-HA moment. Or for someone to get inspired and try something like this. People say to me all the time they could never do something like this and I just want to show them how.

see all

  • Hi Eric,

    Very inspiring. You are an incredibly talented teacher. I appreciate you taking the time to do these videos to share your knowledge with us out here. You have certainly inspired me and I now know that even though I can't draw well, I can paint. Thanks ever so much. Kathy

  • ps. This would be a good video for my sister who loves art but doesn't think she can paint. Very thoughtful video.
