Instructional Courses

Brian has developed a series of instructional courses which focuses on teaching the foundational principles of representational art by demonstrating how each one can be applied directly to the art of painting. When understood and applied, these four principles are what govern every decision that is made during the painting process and give the artist the freedom to better communicate his message to the viewer. An understanding of Drawing, Value, Color and Edges is vital in the education and growth of an artist. By learning the principles that go into the decision making process, the artist is then equipped to face any challenge in painting, regardless of subject matter. The purpose of this series is to help educate and provide a source of information in order to answer some of the important questions that many artists are faced with.

These videos are designed for beginners and advanced painters alike. Each course is available in DVD format or as a digital download.
