At last: pastel secrets of the pros revealed!
You will master pastel drawing with these "insider" secrets from the absolute top art instructors... for just pennies a day ... even if you've never touched a pastel pencil!
This isn't just a short course telling you the basics of pastel and charcoal - this is a warehouse full of knowledge, a patient mentor, a set of tutors who will share with you every secret, technique, concept, and experience they have about pastels. If you want to learn what separates a master artist from someone who barely knows how to hold a pastel, you need this hand holding, step-by-step, short cut!
Dear Friend,
If you're like most of us, the best way to learn something - to have it really "click", is to see it demonstrated, close up, by someone who really knows what they're doing.
Think about learning to ride a bicycle - if you'd never seen a bike before, and someone handed you a 300 page manual on how to ride one, would you have been able to hop on and pedal away?
Not me!
Like most people, I needed to see someone else do it, have them explain the important details, and when I was ready, hop on and practice.
Try this simple experiment: try to write down some notes to explain how to ride a bike ... or swim across a pool ... or jump off a diving board.
It's frustrating to try to write it down, it's more frustrating to read it, and it's incredibly frustrating to try to put it into practice. "Push down with your left foot while shifting your weight onto the toes of your right foot, while also keeping both hands on the handlebars..." Horrible! If you tried to learn to ride a bike this way, you'd end up with scraped knees and a sore head. If you tried to learn to jump off a diving board this way, you'd belly flop. ...and if you tried to learn how to swim this way? Let's not even think about it!
If you can't learn how to do a simple thing like ride a bike, or dive off a board from reading a book, why does anyone think it's possible to learn to become a master artist from books?
I have studied with various local pastel artists here in San Antonio, but being able to see a master at work on DVD was a dream come true. The hardest is having the patience to wait for the first DVD to arrive!
-- John Martinez
You can hardly be blamed for being frustrated - doing good art is hard, and it can't be taught from a book...so it's no surprise that when you set up your easel and pour hours of your time into a drawing, you still aren't satisfied with the result.
Let me ask you a question...
Do You Dream Of Using Charcoals, Pastels, Or Pencils And Drawing Breathtaking Landscapes, Portraits, And still lifes ... Without Feeling Overwhelmed By All The Confusing Advice and Secret Techniques?
Maybe you've already taken a local course ... and yet you're not getting the results you know you deserve.
Should you give up on the dream?
Should you keep cranking out "good enough" drawings?
Do you want to let poor color choice ruin your portraits, let bad perspective screw up your landscapes, or let poor technique make any of your drawings less good than you want them to be?
Do you enjoy it when you're almost done with a drawing, and a wrong line or color choice screws up what you were trying to create ? Do you lie to yourself and say that it "just adds character" ?
...or do you want to be a true artist?
If you click right here, you can stop wishing and get your hands on the how-to DVDs that will make you a pastel artist pro.Let's be clear: 9 out of 10 folks aren't really interested in becoming better artists. They're happy to muddle through, and get mediocre results.
It's a sad fact, but it's true: most people aren't interested in getting better.
They're happy to go down to the studio, use almost-right colors and almost-right techniques and get "sort of good enough" results.
If you're one of those folks, this course isn't for you. Click the "back" arrow in your browser right now - you don't want to learn the simple tricks, secrets, and techniques that will let you turn out amazing drawings in half the time. Click the "back" arrow, then go back to your studio and enjoy your good-enough results, and be happy with the "ehhh - it's OK" results you get.
Really AWESOME very helpful a pleasure to watch!!!
-- Shoshana Avramovitz
You Have The Pride Of Craftsmanship, And Your Skills Are The Envy Of Others When You Are An Excellent Artist
I'm not one of those "ehhh - it's OK" folks, and I'm glad that you're not either.
Why do you want to get better?
If you're like me, it's because you enjoy the pride of craftsmanship.
You're not like everyone else - you like learning to do a good job, and then applying yourself...and turning out work that you can be really proud of.
When you really capture a flower arrangement with your floral colored pastels or get down the exact look of the sunset over silhouetted trees with warm colors and shades of black and grey, you know you've done top notch work...and when you show that work to friends or family, you can see it in their eyes. There's something different in the way they look at you - you're not just noodling around in the studio, you're producing art!. click here to find out how easy it is to become a true pastel artist
Of course, there's a downside - when you show your work to other artists, the look in their eyes is a bit different. There's a a bit of envy. ...and a touch of respect. You're using the same pencils and charcoals they are. You may even be using the same paper and drawing the same things! ...and yet you're turning out work that stands head-and-shoulders above.
OK, this sounds great - who doesn't want to be a master artist?
...but how do you get from here to there?
Is it possible to pick up master level skills?
Finally --- A Simple Video Based Training System That Teaches You Step-By-Step How To Properly And Professionally Make Your Own Show Winning Art... And Save Hours Of Painful Frustration And Needless Spending Of Your Hard Earned Cash!
That's right! The excuses and delays are gone! You're about to discover the first REAL breakthrough in art instruction that's ever been offered!
There are books, sure. ...and one article thrown in every third issue of your favorite art magazine.
But here's a secret...
Using Poor Techniques From Articles, Frustrating Experimentation, And Inferior Book-Learning Can Ruin Your Art!
If you're like most people who try to learn pastels from books and magazine articles, it all seems really simple in theory, but your results just aren't what you want them to be. Your drawings look clunky.
...Or they're not finished well. Or you have problems with perspective. Or your pastels blend together poorly giving a muddy look and ruining your workpiece.
Or you're experiencing any of a thousand other problems.
This is an excellent source of information and incorporates basic color theory, drawing techniques, pastel tools, as well as an abundance of experience in a thorough and clear manner.
-- Charlotte Eierle
It's Not Your Fault!
Once upon a time, folks realized that art was best taught by a master to an apprentice. A close look at high quality work being done well, a kind word, a light touch of the hand - expert instruction made it possible for anyone to learn how to turn out great work.
...and, somehow, in the 20th century, we forgot all that, and decided that people could learn a complicated, three-dimensional, somewhat tricky skill, with lots of secret "insider only" tips and techniques...
From a flat, black-and-white, static Book!
It just isn't so!
You've been getting frustrated, thinking that if you were just a bit smarter, or if you could just figure out how to hold your tool differently, or if you concentrated harder, then you could do great work
It's Not Your Fault!
People needed mentors to learn drawing 200 years ago, and they still need them now.

I enjoyed them all. Each one has a little different approach to painting. I like the way all three artist began their paintings. Each artist prepares their painting surface a little different and I learned from them all. Each DVD talks about lost and found edges, perspectives, and color temerature changes. These are all very informative DVDs and I recommend them all.

So, What's The Cost To Learn From The Experts And Catapult Your Pastels Skills To A Master Artist Level?
How much would you pay for 5, 10 or 15 hours of instruction from world class artists?
$10/hour an hour would be an unthinkable bargain.
Something like $50 or $100 wouldn't be an unfair price to charge for an hour of hands-on instruction like this.
Let's face it, if you asked the top artists to fly in from Australia, England, and all over the US, and then stick around your studio until you'd mastered their techniques, you'd need to be as rich as Bill Gates!
For just pennies a day, though, you get exactly this learning experience from Pastel University.
Just $25.95 Per Month, Or 86 Cents Per Day.
We send you DVDs by world class experts. Keep up to three DVDs in your studio or home at any one time. Return one and get another. Return all three and get a whole new batch.

P.S. A common question that many artists ask is "will this program work for me?" This is a valid question - you want to make sure that you're going to learn skills that work for you!
