I created the Basic Techniques because it didn’t exist and I want you to have the best possible art instructions in your quest to learn to oil paint.

Most importantly, I want you to believe in yourself that you can paint. The Basic Techniques of Painting is a collection of over 350 on-line 2-hour long video art lessons in oil painting, acrylic painting and water mixable painting that teach you the fundamentals of painting landscapes, seascapes, tall ships, flowers, people, pop art, pet portraits and wildlife.   And there’s over 150 painting scenes where we shown you how paint complete masterpieces from the bare canvas to the final brush.  All in step-by-step, concise instructions that easy to follow.  This series of over 350  video art lessons is A LIFETIME OF LEARNING. From the very first video in this series, your experience will totally transform your concept as well as your belief in you. You will walk away with absolute faith that “Yes, you can paint.” My first art instructor, Jessie Martin’s words of encouragement have become the inspiration behind all of my video art lessons and the drive to constantly help every student to mentally understand the concept behind each technique taught in my art instruction video series. If you have a “want to” no matter how much you “disbelieve,” you will learn to oil paint. I can’t believe how my wife proudly boasts about my work and actively pushes my paintings to people she meets. My children, who are in their forty something now, admire my paintings and even have them hanging on their walls.

What will your family and friends say when you show them your masterpieces? Paintings that you’ve done yourself?”

The Basic Techniques of Painting Seascapes Began At Monterey, CA In 1957

I think my love of the sea began, back in 1957.  At eight years of age that is. I lived smack dab in the middle of the USA in a state called, Illinois. Yes.  I realize there’s no seashore in Illinois. I’d been fishing quite a bit, even been to a swimming pool once, but couldn’t swim a lick. Then Dad joins the Army and the next thing you know, we are living in Monterey, California. In fact, the apartment we lived in was on Lighthouse Ave. (Don’t ask me how I remember the street name.)  Lighthouse Ave’s biggest claim to fame was that it was three blocks from Canary Rd.  I rode my bike up and down Canary Rd more times than I care to remember. On Saturdays Dad would take my brother and I for long walks up and down the Monterey coastline.   I loved the sea and the sound of the seals barking. I spent hours just watching the waves crashing against the rocks and shore. As an artist, seascapes hold a special allure for me … almost magical.  I enjoy the whole process of painting seascapes and telling a story with my paintings. Each seascape takes me back to Monterey and 1957.

A transatlantic and transpacific ship, the most common use was shipping trade products from England to its colonies and China, as well as the New York to San Francisco routes.

Top Sail Schooner Video Lessons

Schooners evolved from a number of 2-masted, gaff-rigged vessels in the late 1600s. They quickly became the vessel of choice for coastal voyages. They carried a respectable amount of cargo and required few men in the crew. Most schooners were working ships, but a number of very wealthy businessmen outfitted them as luxury crafts for pleasure and travel.  Ships did not need a second mast unless they were 50 feet or longer, thus the schooner is the low–end of Multi-mast Tall Ships.  They were called sloops or cutters if the ship size could only support one mast.

5-Mast Bark Video Lesson

This ship is also known as a barc or barque. From 1605 until today, people have had difficulty defining exactly what is a bark.  It typically meant any 3-mast plus ship which didn’t fit the definition of other Tall Ship categories and had a certain sail plan (arrangement of sails).  The bark required a small crew, held a good cargo and could outperform a brig or a schooner.  To help with speed, 4- and 5-mast versions of the Bark were built in the 1800’s.  Many have survived to this day. The optimum tall ship is the 4-Mast Bark, according to many ancient seamen.  This painting illustrates  a 5-mast Bark.
