The Realism Oil Painting Program That Made Me a Believer


Hello Reader,

Greetings and hello again:

Summer is the perfect time to start something transformative. What if I told you that, by starting now, within 12 months, you could be creating oil paintings so stunning that people won't believe you painted them yourself?

I'm referring to the Evolve Artist program—something I've been quietly recommending for over four years, as I've witnessed remarkable transformations. Complete beginners are producing work worthy of a gallery. Professional artists are finally understanding the "why" behind their techniques. Retirees are discovering new purpose and even selling their paintings.

In today's post, I share why this realism oil painting program made me a believer, including insights from my conversation with their Director of Training, Piper Talladay. You'll discover what makes Evolve different from every other art course out there—and why even professional artists seek their foundational training.

If you're curious and want to learn more, please watch the video. It's informative and lively, and you're sure to learn something. I did, and I was conducting the interview!

Be well and take care.

Peace out!

PS: Sometimes the right opportunity shows up exactly when you're ready for it. If you've been thinking about learning to paint with oils, this might be the nudge you need.
