Dan, I have learned more from your CDs, & landscape & still life
series than anything than any thing in my 30 years of painting. I have
always looked forward to your weekly painting tips & have saved every
one of them. I have read books & online materials but I have never
learned as much as I have from you! I am. Genuinely proud of my
paintings because I have out into practice the points you have made. I
think one of the biggest values of your course us the critiques you
have offered & hearing your voice as you point out the areas I can
improve. You are so personable! Thank you over & over. I don’t want
your courses to end. Please keep them coming!! Shareen Keller Nampa,

Hi Dan,
I wanted to let yo unknown that I entered one of the paintings that I did from your landscape course in the Fall Art Show of the Paulding Fine Art Association, and won third place in the “Paintings”‘category!

Dan, I have looked for an instructor who would give me the opportunity
to paint with instruction at every point that I need it. I “rewind” my
DVD at any point to get the tip and see a color or brush stroke, which
is impossible in a classroom setting. I enjoy the helpful tips and
analyze the brush strokes with each painting. I especially find it
helpful when you discuss the brushes you use, your pallet and how to
maintain equipment correctly. It is so rewarding to have my own
“personal” instructor whenever I want to visit you! Your course is
helping me become the painter I want to be! Barb Surprise, AZ

Dan, I,love your easy to understand painting course and tips. What I
really like is your constructive criticism that shows me the good as
well as areas that need more growth. Your honest encouragement is so
appreciated. Sharron White Garland, TX

Dear Dan, I am writing to tell you how much I am enjoying my Still
Life and Landscape courses. Being new to painting, I must say that
your teaching has made a tremendous impact on my abilities. I am one
of those who has never been to art school, nor taken any other
courses. I do watch films, and read from books, but for the most part
you have taught me nearly everything I know! Your teaching style is so
friendly and informative, and your critiques are invaluable to me
because I receive quick feedback and am able to make the necessary
changes when needed. You are a great teacher, and you go out of your
way to encourage and build my confidence, and from what I have heard
from others, finding that quality in an art teacher is rare. I
consider myself blessed! Lisa Wells Sapulpa, Oklahoma

Dear Dan, I learned so much from both your still life and landscape
DVD’s – and especially appreciated the feedback on my paintings each
week. The lessons are clear and you take the time to explain the
painting process in great detail. I could see an improvement in my
work almost right away. Great lessons! Janet Bonneau Fairfax, VT

Hi Dan, I appreciate your teaching method and the fact that you are
vocal throughout your demos. All of your demos are simply expressed
defining colors being used and techniques applied for the end result.
John Hudson, Massachusetts

I am just beginning your land scape class, but Know I will find it to
be every thing I hope it will be just as the weekly tips has been.
Luck to your new project. Barbara Nunham Pentwater, Mi.

I have both your still life and landscape courses. I especially love
the painting tips you give while painting on the DVDs. It’s like
having you there personally while painting. Sondra Becchetti Buckeye,
AZ

I was so happy to come across your painting lesson series. I had not
painted for a few years and the series is just what I needed to get
going again. I love your style of painting and your paintings are
somewhat of a masters level. I feel blessed to have this level of
professional instruction. Your method of teaching is easy to follow;
your instructions are step by step and spoken in a way to make the
process fun that counters the stress of making mistakes. Thank you so
much for sharing your knowledge and setting up the platform to do so.
Karla Mira Loma, CA

Where can I begin? The courses are more than could be expected. The depth of explanation you do is so helpful that it makes painting fun instead of painful. Your work is beautiful. Your ability to explain the mysteries of painting enabling us to get a recognizable canvas. I never expected to come away with so much helpful information. Thank you for time you give us each week. Sue Stork Howell, NJ, USA

When life keeps me away for the canvas for too many days in a row, Dan’s dvd’s give me a starting place to jump back in. So helpful to have in my toolkit. Sherree McKellar Kailua, Hawaii

your course took my art to a level that I didn’t think I had in me. Ted LaPlante feasterville pa USA

Dan Thank you for sharing your expertise in your DVD courses (Still
Life and Landscape) and your tips, you have given me the confidence to
enter my finished workshop products and my own paintings into shows
and I have been very successful with my sales. The courses have been
very informative and the best value in a DVD series that I have done
to date. I am looking forward to what you have coming next. Thanks for
sharing. Tami Field Alliston, Ontario Canada

Dan, I have learned so much from your course. It is just amazing how
much I have improved with the help of your courses. You provide so
much information, and I love your style of talking to us as you paint.
Really feels like we are in class with you. Ellen Cloudy Eagle River,
Alaska

Dan, anything more I would say would be a repeat of the comments
above. Will continue working with the course I am working on. Helene
Volkman Westlake Village, CA

Dan, I have been a serious painter for many years. When I started and
finished your course I felt a new freshness and excitement I had lost
somewhere along those years. Thank you for showing me that freshness.
Patricia Lein Rio Rancho, New Mexico

Dan, I have completed both your still life and landscape courses. What
a wonderful experience and my work has improved so very much I don’t
know where to begin. Your videos are very thorough, explaining how you
do the painting, but encouraging us to do it our way and just have
FUN. You gave me the confidence to just lay down that paint and create
beautiful paintings. Your critiques are so helpful with suggestions to
improve my work, but always with positive words that inspire. I look
forward to more new lessons from you…can’t wait!!! Carol Hart Plant

but not you..from the colors you use to the little things..good on ya!

Dear Dan, Before learning oil painting from you, I had been learning
Chinese color painting for more than eight years. I think you are the
best initial teacher in my oil painting career. Your videos on still
life, landscape and figure painting are wonderful. In the videos
course, you teach me how to use brush stroke, and address the margin
before finishing the paintings, as well as give me some good tips and
nice ideas. I had finished all the courses including still life,
landscape and figure painting from you. I had hold a solo paintings
exhibition on April ,2013 in Taiwan. I put some parts of my works in
the following website http://liaw.

rumotan.com/ to share the peoples
who are interested in paintings. Actually I had sold some of my works
since this exhibition . I learned much from you, I think you are my
teacher forever. Chinese proverbs said “If you are my teacher for even
one day, you will be my teacher all my life. Sincerely yours, Kwo-Jen

you were a standout when I was looking for help with landscape painting. You offered so much without the surrounds of gimmickry. Mary

I am enjoying working through the Still Life and Landscape courses and
am always surprised at how many tips and ideas you pack into the
online videos, email links and DVD demonstrations. I have fantastic
notes that I’ve written down and keep in a binder. When I need a quick
reminder, I just flip to the TIPS section and can find it along with
hundreds of other great tips and ideas. Your course has been amazing
for so many reasons that I can’t name them all, but I have to say;
with all the information you pack into teaching the Still Life and
Landscape courses – the value is truly amazing. I’m really learning a
lot. Thank you for making the courses fun, exciting and easy to
understand. Angela Thoma Sweet Home, OR USA

I appreciate the manner that you going into shadows. It has made a
hugh difference in my paintings. Also, how you compose your
composition. Everything that you present helps me be a better artist.
Thank You. Barbara Abraham Alhambra, CA 91803

I have the still life and landscape and they are the best. You go in

I’m an experienced painter and appreciate your practical insights.
They are helpful at keeping my imagination involved when sometimes my
brushes may have to sit idle. I love being inspired. Thanks Dan, your
like a brother that loves to share painting secrets which gives me an
edge most people would give just about anything to have. Ann Woolsey

Your instruction and guidance has become a part of my daily routine. I have watched my paintings come to life as I apply your tutorage to my work! I watch the videos and listen to your tips, feeling as if I am part of an artists community and my paintings are blossoming with richness, depth and emotion. Thank you for giving us so much for such a reasonable price. I have never had formal art lessons, but I know that I would have spent a lot more money for a lot less learning than you have provided. Thank you again for all you have given us, your students. Patti Williams Trophy Club, Texas

You are a fabulous artist, teacher and I learn so much from your remarks and videos–even thought I paint mostly in watercolor- I learn shadows, lights,set-ups, composition tips, marketing tips. cdculbertson@

Your courses have inspired me. They are easy to follow and end up with great paintings. I have tried other courses without any luck. By far the best teacher out there. Thanks Dan!. Loretta birmingham al
