Today’s Daily Video Clip is a sampling of a new tutorial we’ve created for the beginning painter. Norma Rachlin, a long-time friend of Alexander Art, teaches you, using just two different strokes how to create your first painting.

It is a proven fact that learning to paint brings joy into people’s lives. When we learn to create on canvas, we open up a part of our brain and expand our capacities in other areas of our lives. Here are just a few of the benefits that we know about.

• Promotes Stress Relief
• Builds Confidence
• Expands Creative Growth
• Enhances Problem-Solving and Motor Skills
• Great distraction for Pain Management
• Provides hours of Satisfying Entertainment
• And the list can go on and on!

I remember when my son, Levi, had to take an art class in high school. He didn’t want to, didn’t think it was interesting. Once he started, something took hold. Now six years later he is an amazing comic artist. Are there people in your life that would benefit from learning how to paint? Possibly your children, grandchildren, aging parents or maybe it is even you.

Chances are in this digital world, our children won’t ask for an art kit as a gift. But what if that is what they really need? A couple of my sons are Eagle Scouts. One of the things that I like about the scouting program is that through earning merit badges, kids are introduced to topics that they might not even know about. This, in turn, expands their opportunities.

What if introducing art to someone in your life could change their world?

Many people want to learn to paint, but just don’t know how to start. There is plenty of information and guidance out there. YouTube is full of art tutorials and the art stores are full of art supplies, What is lacking is a clear starting point. Until now.

We’ve assembled a simple starter set with everything you need to paint your first painting. One canvas, one brush, a few colors of paint, is all you need to get started. Learn fundamental art skills without even knowing it. A simple step-by-step process guides the way. The kit includes the products you need to paint, a how-to DVD (plus digital download if you prefer), AND a 13 page, full-color downloadable PDF with step-by-step instructions.

Happy Painting!

Laurie and Dawn
