From The Desk Of: Kenneth McDiamad
Dear Friend,
Since you’ve found this website I suppose it’s OK to let you know… “I really want to learn how to paint like a pro.” The truth is, I’m always on the internet looking for the latest secrets on how to paint like Rembrandt. That’s what led me to put this website up. Let me explain…
While surfing around the internet, I stumbled upon something so fantastic that it immediately got my attention… In fact, I discovered something sooo amazing that at first I thought it was "too good to be true" like most things are.
You see, a few months ago, I was actually doing some research on John W. Praten, one of the most well known and respected painters in recent history. I noticed that most of his work was available and accounted for with the exception of one of his most important pieces of work ‘Portrait Painting For Beginners’.
Well, this got me curious and so I started digging a little deeper. I started sending off a few emails asking questions, but unfortunately every road I seemed to head down was a dead end… until a couple of weeks ago that is…
By a stroke of luck, I emailed my story to one of my favorite site’s webmasters… as it turned out he had an old copy of this difficult to find book - it was right under my damn nose. After numerous emails, I finally got him to mail me his copy.
I Uncovered One Of The Most Important Painting Manuscripts Of All Time....
Even though it was first published in 1955 this book has the best painting information I have ever seen.
In the 22 chapters here’s just a snippet of what you’ll learn:
- What equipment you’ll need to start painting. Discover where and how to find the best tools to use.
- The 3 vital keys to fresh tones. Find out what these are and what part they play in painting.
- All about the evolution of key palettes. Discover how to use these to create beautiful colors for your new painting.
- How to organize your palettes. This is very important to ensure you get all the colors just right..
- Everything there is to know about the terminology. It will help you enormously to know how painters talk, you’ll learn exactly what they mean when relating to a particular word.
- The best way to start off. With this demonstration, you’ll learn how to paint a woman. Within no-time-at-all you’ll have a painting done.
- The techniques needed for different stages. Through each stage you’ll learn how to create each part of the woman’s picture.
And there’s loads more…
At this point, you might be wondering how you can get your hands on a copy…
Well here’s the good news.
After doing even more research (I told you I was totally mad about learning how to paint a portrait). I have contacted the original copyright owners and gained permission to republish John W. Praten’s complete work on this website.
Because painting is my passion and I want to share it with as many people as possible. Believe it or not, I’ve decided to do something completely unheard of these days. I’m going to let you have this amazing manuscript for nothing.
It’s FREE… Yes 100% FREE
