Our Mission
Our goal is to educate all artists on the necessity for a strong foundation in the timeless fundamentals of Painting, Drawing, Composition and Color, handed down by centuries of master artists, and to guide you in the application of these to create powerful, high quality works of art, while maintaining the integrity of beautiful craftsmanship and design.
Whether you lean more towards expressing yourself as a realist or an abstract painter, whether hobby painter or professional, you need to have a solid technical expertise in these basic principles, just as any art form has fundamental skills and knowledge that must be practiced and mastered to develop their craft to a level of competency and higher.
During the past century of modern visual art the craft of drawing and painting became secondary to critical theory and personal expression. Many of the world’s art schools ceased teaching the fundamentals of drawing and painting believing that these skill sets were no longer required. We now see an ever growing wave of frustrated graduates from these schools, who realize the restrictions not being trained properly in the “basics” has put on their ability to express themselves or to achieve the power, beauty and meaning in their work they aspire to. Artists are again seeking to study and acquire the foundational tenets.
Our modus is that the deeper one's understanding of plastic form and structure is the greater the possible breadth of expression.
It is our mission to preserve this information for generations of artists to come and to give you the tools and education you need to succeed as an artist at any level.
Our 100% money back guaranteed DVD programs and free online lessons will provide you the ongoing support you need as you develop the skills and knowledge to make the breakthroughs to create Fine Art.
