"I have gotten a tremendous amount of information. Although I have been painting for 35 years, along with achieving a MFA in painting & drawing, your information lays out the fine details and techniques which are rarely taught in today's universities. It is great for teaching, as well as for use in one's own studio."

Jenny L. Lasswell, Lasswell Studios, Texas

Dear Ethan Semmel,
I just finished reading your information and I must say that this is exactly the information I was searching for. I found your material to be both thorough and most informative. My next step is to restock my supplies, as I have been waiting for the kind of information I just learned in your book. Now, I feel I can buy with confidence and get more for my money.
Sincerely,
Richard M. Allen, DA design/productions
 

Maybe you do currently take lessons and are not learning from them, they only make you frustrated and confused. Maybe you have read other books, but it just didn't click for you.

"You taught me more then I learned from the instructors at college! I especially related to the paragraph that said to start to practice with student paint. The last instructor I had insisted we begin with artist quality paints! I can tell you I was set back about $300.00 and I never bought all the required colors for the course! Needless to say I was totally discouraged and dropped the course. No, I didn't return the paints for a refund. I hope you will be able to help me paint a picture with them...I wish you lived here in So. California so I could take lessons in person. Any way enough with this rambling, Thank you so much for being a level headed guy!"
Karen Dobbs, California
 

Ethan,

I am amazed!! I am 58 years old and have never written a testimonial, until now. I have dabbled in art for about 40+ years and have collected many volumes on art. 90% are of the "how to" variety. I have become increasingly dissatisfied with the directions that I am getting and thus becoming very suspicious. I ordered your Techniques book. I was enthralled!! For the first time someone was telling me WHY, not giving me their opinion! When I completed it, I immediately ordered the Supplies book. It was even better!! I am going to have a huge yard sale this spring and get rid of several thousand dollars of "useless" art books! Please keep me on your mailing list for your "next" release, whatever the cost. Thank you and keep up the terrific work. You will never know how many questions you answered for me.
Sincerely,

Wayne Williams, Crestview,  FL
 

Are you a beginner who would like to take painting lessons. Maybe they are hard to get to or are too expensive but you still want to learn to paint?

Dear Ethan,
I'm a beginner looking for my painting passion. I bought "techniques" and "supplies" and have improved my painting immediately. Just the hint of picking up paint and putting it on a surface rather than pushing it around was such a mind set transition. Great! Once again, thanks for the terrific books. Your explanations are clear, concise and so helpful. Implementing your suggestions make me feel I have more control over my results, more ownership.

Yours truly,
John Battaini

No Matter What You Like To Paint, This Instruction
Will Have You Painting It Better Than Ever Before.

Get ready for a shock. This manual is unlike anything you've ever read before. If you’re expecting some complicated collection of instruction, like those available at any bookstore or in a painting class, you've got another thing coming.

You won't find any of that complicated "artspeak" here. Or any of that instruction where the instructor looks at your painting and tells you things like...

"Make that part of your painting redder" or...

"You should make that flower darker"

Instead of telling you answers to questions like..."What is the best medium for me to use?", "how do I properly prepare my canvas so it will help me paint better?", and "What are the best brushes to use?"

Ugh! Talk about oil painting instruction that is U-S-E-L-E-S-S!

"I have already read your information and have found it very informative. I've already put some of the information into practice. Easy to read, easy to understand, lots of practical, useful information. I am enjoying the materials immensely. Thank you very much."
Ernest Lippard, North Carolina
 

I know you're probably still skeptical and a bit on the conservative side, but think about this - if you keep doing the same things over and over again - painting the way you are now - you'll only succeed in getting the same results.

That's why I want to let try out my instructional package - completely and totally risk-free! (I'll tell you about my unique guarantee in a moment.)

I have to admit, some of the testimonials represent exceptional results, not average performance. I'm not going to make outrageous claims like "you'll be the next Rembrandt." After all, I don't know you, your desire, your skills, or your background. I'm sure you're smart enough to realize that hype like this is bogus.

What I can tell you is that my best students do have phenomenal results.

I have customers that range from CFO's of companies to retirees to teachers looking for better ways to teach their own students. So whatever your position or situation, this material is for you.

You just need to ask yourself which you'd rather have...The same instruction that is mass-marketed that everyone else buys or pays through the nose for from art schools?... Or a genuine instructional edge?

Look: most people fail because they don't know where to start. That's why I've organized my manual in a clear, step-by-step manner. Instead of being overwhelmed, you'll have a clear game plan so you can put the information to use for every painting you make.

    Compare The Cost

    Many of my customers refer to this manual as a book. It is more than a book. It is my personal notes on instruction compiled from over 15 years of research, and hard work. 186 pages worth. The value is in the experience and hard to find information it contains. But, it is written in a way that makes sure the information is easy to understand.

    As you read from other customers, many value it more than their college art lessons.  

    The information in this instruction manual package contains all the information you hope to get in an oil painting class. It could easily sell for hundreds of dollars.

    In fact, you may already know that if you enroll in formal oil painting lessons in a school or workshop, you'd be charged in the neighborhood of $200 to $3000 for one class

    In fact, this little box below shows you actual prices taken right off the internet for different oil painting classes.

    • Actual listings of other workshops and classes and their prices
    You can see the days and hours the classes meet
    and the high prices of them.

    • Sat./Sun. 10:00am - 6:00pm Cost: $225.
       
    • Wed, 2-6:30pm, Wed, 6:30-10pm Course Fee: $555.
       
    • A non-refundable deposit of $100 per workshop and Tuition is $275 for each class.
       
    • The school I attended in New York City charges almost $3000 for one class per year!

    I used to charge a minimum of $150 an hour for private lessons when I had the time to teach.

    So at bare bones minimum you're getting hundreds of dollars worth of oil painting instruction at your disposal.

    Better still, you'll receive my complete instruction on supplies for less than the $150 my private students pay for a one-hour lesson. And the truth is, you're getting a lot more; I could never cram all this into a single hour of instruction.

    But I'm not going to charge you anywhere near that amount.

    Your manual is normally priced at $80 but as a special offer

    you can receive yours at over 10% off...

    for only $69.95 if you order by

    Can you afford not to have this valuable information if you are serious about painting better? 

    So Much Information For So Little Cost?

    Why do I practically give away my complete 15 years of research on supplies (Normally priced at $80 but now specially priced at $69.95) when I can make $150 per hour teaching privately?

    Well, it's really quite simple.

    I actually make more money selling my manual in volume, than I do giving private lessons. As well as the fact that with the internet I can help thousands more people than I could ever teach privately.

    Also, the internet lowers costs for myself. And I can pass that savings on to you.

    And, frankly, people who want to learn how to oil paint need a resource that works and that won't drain their wallet of hard earned money.

    I have seen that firsthand, and I want to provide you with a new alternative.

    I have seen too many aspiring oil painters pay for lessons...

    not get helped...

    become frustrated...and be out hundreds if not thousands of dollars for useless instruction.

    I will not repeat that pattern.

    I have made it easy for you to buy your oil painting supplies right online. The manual recommends certain supplies you should have and recommendations are built right into the pages of your manual. You won't have to go through the confusion of asking, "Where do I get these supplies?"
