I recently received an email from Diana asking how to fix unpainted edges of her canvas.
The problem is caused by the top and bottom braces of the easel gripping the canvas securely. They cover a small portion of the canvas top/bottom front surface. We can’t seem to easily paint these hidden areas. What options do we have?
Option. Add rubber feet to the top and bottom brace of your easel. This lifts the canvas up and allow you to paint to the edge while maintaining a solid grip on your canvas. YouTube video
Option. As you’re painting loosen the canvas from the easel and make sure you paint the edges even if you have to hold the canvas by hand.
Option: Install a frame. Generally the space in which we have difficulties is within 1/8″ to 1/4″ of the edge. So check to see if this area will be covered by a frame or not.. measurement. Be sure to check yours. Darrell

2. What makes this on-line Beginning Art Student club so special over DVDs?
Simply put, we cover everything from landscapes to seascapes, flowers, tall ships, wildlife, Using oils, using water miscible oils or acrylics. If you were to sit down and watch all 250 of our videos at midnight tonight, 500 hours later, you’d have watched them all.
Were you to purchase our DVDs, this would cost you well over $3,800.00
But I want you to know, that even though you’ll always have access to these on-line videos, you will not be paying anywhere close to $3,800.00. In fact you’ll pay less this weekend for a lifetime membership than for a set of our Basic techniques DVDs.
The benefits of membership are straight forward.
* Pay a single one time membership fee and you’re a lifetime member. No monthly fees
* No shipping Fees
* Access to over 250, 2-hour-long art instructional videos that teach you how to paint.
* These instructional videos assume you know absolutely nothing about painting or art
* These instructional videos assume you have never even held a paint brush before
* And these instructional videos assume you were not born with any talent
* You can watch any of our videos we ever made,whenever you want, as many times as you want, for the rest of your life.
* And you’ll be given immediate access to all additional videos we make in the future without you spending another penny.
* Pay once, watch forever.
If you’re unfamiliar with our videos we have an overview video of our Basic Techniques of Painting you can watch at: http://youtu.be/rKTjwhb8DxY.
Lifetime Membership to YouCanPaintClub.com, Valid only April 6-9, 2012
3. What Do You Really Mean About A Lifetime Membership?
A Lifetime membership simply means we are making all of the videos we’ve ever published available to you. PLUS any video we make in the future will be automatically posted in the club for your access. This truly is a pay once, learn forever program. As we introduce new painting projects, they’ll be posted. As we introduce new techniques, tips or reviews, they will be auotomatically posted in the club. You will not ever need to purchase another video from us again.
That’s lifetime.
Our normal price for the lifetime membership is $297.00. And the club is worth ten times that investment.
But for my birthday weekend, I’m dropping the price down to 66%.
Everyone tells me I’m crazy to do this, but what’s a little sanity in a great weekend.
This offer ends tomorrow evening, so if you’re not already a member of the YouCanPaintClub.com, this is the time to take advantage of my craziness.

I have breakfast ready for you,” proudly announced Sabrina, my 9-year old granddaughter at the stroke of 8 a.m. this morning. Standing right next to the bed, she stood, with a tray of one small pancake, one egg and a few breakfast potatoes.
And Black coffee.
This is your day, don’t you do anything today. Just ask me.
She was ready to grant my every wish.
Except one.
She would not surrender the TV remote control to me.
But I had a great morning.
This afternoon we went shopping at the local arts and crafts store and I bought a bananagram game, a face-painting kit, and some velvet doodle sheets.
Celebration starts at 4 p.m.
The Bond family is coming over to celebrate this day.
Everyone asked me what I wanted for my birthday and I chose a party with the Bonds. And I like this family a lot and felt this could be a good opportunity for us to spend time together and become better acquainted.
I’m preparing the dinner.
I didn’t want any birthday gifts this year. All I wanted was good company, good food and great fellowship….
What could be a better gift?
I’ve made my own pork and beans from scratch. Grandma’s Cucumber-Onion salad, A Black Bean soup from scratch, Bro coll, garlic mashed potatoes, carrots and cabbage. The main course is strip steak. For desert I’ve chosen sugar-free jellow over bananas with near-zero calorie whipped topping.
I’m making everything myself from scratch just because I like to.
It’ll be a couple of hours before the Bonds arrive. We’ve got plenty of games and arts planned for their four young daughters and everyone is really looking forward to this afternoon.
Cindy Steward is also having a birthday today and I send you Big B Wishes as well.
And if anyone else is having a birthday today (or tomorrow), let me know and drop on by tonight if you’re in the neighborhood.
As part of my birthday celebration, I’ve reduced the price of my lifetime Art Student Club membership down to just a third of its normal price. However, this price is only good today and tomorrow. So if you’ve been thinking of purchasing either DVDs or a club membership, now is the time to act.

If you’re unfamiliar with our videos we have an overview video you can watch at:
I just put together a quick little video that shows beginning artists a new method of cleaning oil painting brushes with either baby oil or odorless thinner that will thoroughly clean your brushes and will help keep your odorless thinner or baby oil cleaner, longer. This is especially useful for art instructors who provide art supplies and materials and or cleaning equipment for their art classes.
Over the past few weeks Joe and I have been working on a special project.
Its our first ever infomercial for the YouCanPaintClub and the Basic Techniques of Oil Painting. If this does well, we’ll produce one infomercial for each series of DVDs we offer just so people will know exactly what they’ll get should they purchase our videos.
We’d sure like your opinion of our first infomercial below so we can improve.
And if anybody would like to provide a testimonial, we’d welcome that as well …..
