Why so many people struggle to learn art online
If you've ever tried to learn drawing or oil painting online, you may already know how frustrating it can feel.
There are endless videos, conflicting advice and no clear path forward.
Most people do not fail because they lack talent. They fail because they have never been shown how to learn techniques properly
Too Many Random Tutorials
Plenty Of Information,
but no real structure.
Confusion About Process
Materials, Colour, drawing and painting can feel overwhelming
without guidance
No Step-by-Step Progression
Many students stay stuck
because lessons feel
disconnected
No Clear Starting Point
It can be hard to know
what to learn first.

After over 5 decades in the art industry and many years teaching classical drawing and oil painting techniques I now want to share all my knowledge so you can finally create paintings you’re proud to show
Hi I'm Martin
Let me show you how easy it is to put the
Wow & Magic into your paintings
I have been in the art industry for over 5 decades, owned and ran an art gallery for many years exhibiting Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso and Mark Chagall's original etchings as well as original paintings from other well known modern and current day artists.
I'm a classically trained oil painter with many years experience in creating art and over these many years I've opened and operated three classical art schools.
It's been my pleasure to teach the old masters drawing and oil painting techniques from the renaissance to students age from 8 years up to and including mature students well into their nineties.
I'm now ready and want to share all my knowledge to a wider audience at a low price that everyone can afford.
No upfront costs, just a $15 monthly membership fee.
Giving full access to everything including weekly live webinars, all painting courses and video lessons on all aspects of drawing and oil painting.
I invite you to join me on this adventure and allow me to show you how to put some magic into your paintings.
