I’m Darrell Crow, and … “YES. You Can Learn To Paint!”
If you’ve ever had the slightest bit of desire to learn to paint in oils, or acrylics, or water soluble oils, than this might be the most important website you’ve visited all day….Here’s why:“YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO PAINT.”Hi, I’m Darrell Crow and I’ve carefully put together a fantastic set of art instructional videos that are guaranteed to teach you how to paint beautiful landscapes and seascapes.So if you’ve ever thought about painting, but didn’t know how, thought you had to born with talent, or just wanted to learn the fundamentals, the basic techniques of painting, this website is for you.A little about me.I’ve been teaching brand new beginning painting students for over 30 years. I’ve taught over 3,000 workshops in person and over 6,000,000 people on-line.The system of painting I teach works.And I’ve taken all of my experience, techniques and tips and condensed them into simple video lessons that will absolutely, positively teach you to oil paint.I back up my video lessons with personalized help via email, telephone, newsletters, web videos and on-line student art painting forums on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc…This is very important. Not only will you have access to the internet’s best art instructional video, but you’ll have access to me. What other instructor on-line will do this?“When I first began painting I wanted instructions that were easy to understand, clear, step-by-step, and easy to follow.I wanted a solid set of art lessons I could easily reference for the rest of my life.Furthermore, I wanted access to help.I knew I’d get stuck. I wanted someone to whom I could show my paintings, ask questions, give me solid feedback, and help me with the next steps.I wanted a systematic (logical) approach in learning painting that would work. I wanted to learn the fundamentals, the basic techniques of painting landscapes and seascapes.Painting the instructor’s paintings was fine, but I really wanted to paint my own masterpieces.I did a lot of traveling for work and my family and I traveled for vacation. Everywhere we went, we took photos and I thought they’d make a great painting.So I wanted to learn the basic techniques. I wanted to be able to learn how to paint from photographs, how to mix color, and how to arrange objects in my masterpiece rather than constantly struggling with how to paint a tree or a mountain or a cabin.”I had hoped to find this kind of help in either books, or videos (VHS/DVDs)But they didn’t exist.I bought plenty of books and videos, but they all fell short of what I required.Quite by accident one weekend, I met an excellent acrylic/oil painting instructor who lived about 65 miles away. He also informed me that the type of help I was looking for in books and videos didn’t exist either. He’d also searched his whole life for this kind of help.“Every Tuesday and Thursday night during the worst commuter traffic imaginable, I drove 65 miles one-way to take lessons from Jessie Martin.I hated the 3-hour drive, but I loved the way Jessie taught. I spent 3 years taking classes from Jessie twice a week.I did well and after just a few months, people were actually begging me to teach them. I didn’t think I could paint all that well, but boy, everyone who saw my work swore otherwise.Thus my teaching career was started and I went all out to help family, friends, co-workers and anyone with a desire to learn to oil paint.One day, Denise, a student of mine, matter-of-factly says, “Darrell I want to take you home with me.”I didn’t know how to respond, but Denise continued. “Yes sir, I want to take you home with me and put you up on a shelf. Whenever I want to paint, I’ll just take you down from the shelf and have you guide me step by step in painting and answer all my questions on painting landscapes and seascapes.”I did a lot of thinking about what Denise had asked and decided to produce the Basic Techniques of Painting video series of instructions.You see, Denise had the same problem I did. She couldn’t find the right art lessons that would guide her step-by-step in either book form or in videos.Right then and there I decided I would produce the kind of video painting lessons that Denise, Jessie, and I’d originally tried to find.In building this set of painting instructional videos I resolved that my lessons would

This morning I received a phone call from one of my students in Southern Louisiana, Brian Trosclair. He wanted to thank me so much for all of the work we’d done in putting together this entire series of the Basic Techniques of Painting. “Darrell, you don’t know this, but I just got to tell you this…. I take lessons twice a week from two different art instructors. One charges me $10.00 an hour and the other charges me $1.00 a minute. An hour’s lesson costs $60.00″
“And you know what? I learn ten times more from your videos than with any of these two art instructors. I watched you everyday. And I fired these other two this morning. You’re my art instructor from now on!”
“The next thing you need to do Darrell, is come right straight down to Louisiana so you and I can do some serious fishing.”
Thanks Brian. And I’ll take you up on that fishing offer.
Now, I know you’re probably skeptical when I say You Will Learn How To Paint. That’s normal and healthy. Let me give you three good reasons why I can back up what I claim:
Three Reasons To Believe What I SayReason one: I assume you know absolutely nothing about painting and start with the basics, the supplies you’ll need, how to set up your painting area, how to clean brushes and continue all the way through the different core elements of landscape and seascape painting (skies, clouds, mountains, waterfalls, lakes, rivers, seascapes, trees, grass, bushes, rocks, and buildings) until you’re painting entire landscapes and seascapes.Reason two: I am the private instructor that college art professors and high school art instructors go to when they want to build their technical skills in painting. The vast majority of my students, though, are beginners like you who simply have a desire to learn to paint. I have helped millions of people, I can help you.Reason three: I have been teaching ‘Beginners’ for over 30 years with an iron-clad money-back guarantee. Today, nearly 6,000,000 on-line beginning students have signed up to watch and learn Darrell’s Basic Techniques of Oil Painting and learned how to paint. And you can ‘test drive’ his Basic Technique course to prove to yourself that, “Yes! You can paint!” To ‘test drive’ our style of teaching and the content of our lessons, simply click the play button below. |

At The Heart of The Basic Techniques are 9 fundamental core building blocks.
As mentioned earlier Darrell has broken painting landscapes and seascapes into 9 core building blocks, spanning 50 hours of video instruction. Each video in the series covers one of these core building blocks. Darrell spends over two hours teaching and demonstrating one technique after another. AND Darrell teaches you how to paint in traditional oils AND acrylics AND water mixable oils. You’re free to choose any medium or even all three to learn.
I created the Basic Techniques because it didn’t exist and I want you to have the best possible art instructions in your quest to learn to paint.Most importantly, I want you to believe in yourself that you can paint.From the very first video in this series, your experience will totally transform your concept as well as your belief in you. You will walk away with absolute faith that “Yes, you can paint.”My first art instructor, Jessie Martin’s words of encouragement have become the inspiration behind all of my video art lessons and the drive to constantly help every student to mentally understand the concept behind each technique taught in my art instruction video series. If you have a “want to” no matter how much you “disbelieve,” you will learn to oil paint.I can’t believe how my wife proudly boasts about my work and actively pushes my paintings to people she meets. My children, who are in their forty something now, admire my paintings and even have them hanging on their walls. |
What will your family and friends say when you show them your masterpieces? Paintings that you’ve done yourself?”

My Students Tell My Story Better Than I Ever Can!
“My very first painting is so incredibly good that it is frame-able quality! I am astounded …”
Darrell. First, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart! My very first painting is so incredibly good that it is frame-able quality! I am astounded, and to say that I am pleased would be the biggest understatement of the years! I stare at this painting and in awe that it came from my very own hands.
I used to watch the Bob Ross TV show and think that I would do that when I am ‘old’ and a grandmother. By then I thought I would have time and money to devote to painting. Well, at the ‘old’ age of 52 with my first granddaughter, my long ago dream came true. My friends can’t believe that this is my very first oil painting. Once again, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me via DVD instructions. I am more grateful than I can put into words.
— Wyletta, Now an Artist!
“I received my free video lessons, Water, and was more surprised than I expected to be. All the testimonials said the DVD was wonderful and easy to use. That can mean many things to different people, but very little to me. What the testimonials didn’t say was that you teach ‘one stroke’ at a time, with more explanation than stroke. This technique with the picture quality, the camera position and zoom not only make it possible to learn, but makes it impossible not to learn.”
Phyllis Scholts
It took many years of therapy and “YOU” to overcome this and at least try. You see, I wanted this so much that I was afraid to even try because if I did try and couldn’t do it, I would have proof that my mother was right after all, and I didn’t have any talent. So I just spent my whole life dreaming of art but not having the courage to try. I don’t have enough words to express my gratitude to you and I’m soooooo lucky to have found your studio. Million thanks……”
— Francine O.
I was truly amazed when I answered my phone today and it was you ready to help. I do not think that even if I was in a room with an instructor, I would have had the same attention or support I received from you. Thank You.”
Sherry D., California, USA
Darrell, I ordered your Basic Techniques of Painting and have been thoroughly enjoying learning from them. I have painted one picture every day for the past month, sometimes the same one again to improve it. I am really getting much better every day and just wanted you to know that I think it is wonderful that you are offering these instructions to help us “wannabe’s’
I retired in July and have wanted to learn to paint all my life, never having time or money to try it before. Needless to say that I am having the time of my life learning now. Thanks again, also, for the personal attention you have given via emails to help me with decisions and questions. Helen W.
I have just finished a 3 day workshop with Darrell here in Ireland and i so enjoyed the whole 3 days, day one and three i was able to implement all the things i had learned from Darrell’s DVDs and yes i did all the noises and the sayings ie” up in the air” ect. i was so impressed with the end results, but i have to say that day two was a real challenge to me as we did a wild life and i had never tried this before. and oh boy was i surprised i never though that a lion could be so easey to paint. thank you Darrell … You were just the same in person as you were on your dvd’s. a pleasure to meet you and an even bigger pleasure to have painted with you. kind regards.
Geraldine
Dear Darrell, I just wanted to thank you once again for the fantastic art course! You worked SO HARD putting it all together and I, for one, was very impressed. I continue to support you and mention you in multiple blogs and FB pages that I’m enrolled in… spreading your good grace as best I can. It was wonderful meeting you and spending time with you and like-minded people. When you’re ready to venture to Ireland again, let me know… it would be my pleasure to be your Irish Connection! With warm regards, Nancy B. Cork County.
I can oil paint. You were right again. What a wonderful teacher you are Darrell. There is nothing on the market down under that can be remotely compared to the quality of your most detailed and practical mode of teaching. Thank you Darrell.
Kindest Regards, J Wallace Australia

WARNING — DO NOT BUY …
any Learn To Paint video lessons unless they meet the following 6 criteria
There is a lot of confusion surrounding our field. I want to give you 6 criteria or elements you absolutely, positively must have in any art instructional video lesson solution you obtain: 1. Does your potential instructor produce the types of paintings that you’d like to paint? Paintings that you would be proud to say you painted? 2. Does your instructor’s videos cover the basics, the fundamentals of painting? Do they assume you know absolutely nothing and guide you step-by-step through the entire process in clear, concise, easy-to-grasp language? 3. Does your potential instructor’s video lessons cover all of the steps of a technique or a painting? Or do they skip sections and move on to a new section leaving you lost? 4. How will your instructor help you learn from their video lessons when you’re lost? or have questions? or need more explanation? How will they interact personally with you? 5. Do you understand your instructor in his/her video lessons? Are the topics clearly presented and the video/sound enhancing the learning process? 6. Will your art Instructor review your painting lessons and personally tell you what you’ve done well and what you can do to improve?

The Offer
How $19.95 Gets You Started On Your Way To Becoming an Accomplished Artist
For the past ten years, I have successfully sold each of my technique series of Art video lessons for $99.95 each. As you see in the chart above we have 13 different Art Video Lesson series. My videos covers The Basic Techniques, Landscapes, Seascapes, Flowers, Tall Ships, Wildlife, Pets and so much more. The 13 series combined value is well over $1,200. Plus the over 100 Painting Projects have a combined value well over $2,495.00. This is not a fictional number that I just tagged onto them to impress you. These are real numbers. I have been selling tens of thousands of these video series and painting projects at these prices on DVDs & VHS tape for the past ten years. This is real value that is being presented.
And now I can offer you all of these art video lessons for SUBSTANTIALLY LESS THAN $3,695.00.
How can I possibly do this?
Three Reasons
-
Technology
-
The rapid advancement in speed and technical excellence in the world of the internet
-
No staff requirements to make DVDs, fulfill orders, manage manufacturing or domestic and international shipping.
So now you and I can realize the cost economy that technology is now providing with today’s 21st Century Internet Services.
Instead of charging you $3,695, or even $1,500, or even $300, I’ve put together an unheard of program where you can begin today learning to paint for just $19.95.
The full tuition fee for our entire Basic Techniques of Painting (each lesson approx. 2-hours long) is $239.40.
There are two payment options.
-
You can choose to pay $19.95 a month for 12 months and you’re done…..forever!
-
You can also choose to save $42.40 by simply paying the entire tuition in a single payment. For this option, we’ll lower the tuition fee to $197.00
Aaaah. I know the question you’re going to ask next. Just how much time does this tuition fee cover? A semester? A year? How long?
Good question. And a very smart question.
Simple answer, though.
The rest of your life. This is a one-time, rest-of-your life tuition fee.
This means two important things for you …
First, you’ll never have to pay us one more penny for your art training. Ever.
Secondly, every new art video lesson we post onto our ‘school,’ you’ll have immediate, automatic access. And again, you’ll never pay us one more penny for your art training no matter how many new video art lessons we add to our ‘school’.
Earlier this week I posted a detailed art instructional video on how to paint a beautiful Beagle puppy. Within two days we started receiving questions and photos from excited students.
I’d like to be your art instructor. I know without a doubt that together, you will learn how to paint.
This is my invitation for you to take that one small step to becoming an artist. I know this without a doubt. Not too long ago, I was you. I took the step and became a student. I’ll take the step with you. All you have to decide is which payment option is right for you….

Let me share one more testimony from a student recently sent to us. Darrell, I enrolled in your on-line Paint Club (school) over a year ago but did not view the lessons that much until recently. When I did, I could not believe my good fortune. I have been painting for about 5 years using various artist’s DVDs and learned a lot but I could not duplicate what I was watching to my satisfaction. The reason for that is that the “teaching” part of the DVDs was so minimal that I couldn’t progress. What I appreciated so much in your techniques videos is that you not only teach but you show every detail that is needed to learn. Just the fact that you show your palette up close so I can learn all the ways to mix paint and most importantly, how to load the brushes. You not only teach all of it but you tell us why it matters. I just wanted you to know how much I love these lessons. I can’t find enough time in the day to view more. This is the very best investment I have ever made on my road to becoming a good painter. Thank you so much. By the way, I am 76 so that proves you are never too old to learn. Elaine Russo, USA
