Albert Einstein defined insanity as "...doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." Many painters think that by painting the same thing over and over they will become better painters.
It doesn't work like that.
You get better by challenging yourself and expanding your horizons.
You get better by working with a mentor who has decades of experience, not only as a successful artist but also as a master teacher.
Instead of painting another boring mountain landscape, how about painting one of the classics of all time by one of the most famous Impressionist artists of all time?
How about painting a peaceful running stream or a quiet lakeside cove or a sunlit Tuscan scene?
When we began filming the Master Class videos almost two years ago, we knew we had something very special. We just didn’t know HOW special it really was!
What's in the course?
Each of the five paintings in the Master Class Intermediate course will take you from where you left off in the Introductory course and advance you to the next level in your art training.
Twenty Years
We've spent over twenty years developing and refining this program and testing it on thousands of students. Aspiring artists, just like you, many of whom never picked up a paintbrush in their life have learned to paint. Many have gone on to create their own career in art. Others wanted to be artists but claimed they had no talent for art. We've heard it all. "I can't even draw a straight line." "I've got no talent for art." "My art teacher in school said I should take up sports."
You Bring The Desire
We know, from working with students over the years, that if you have the desire to learn, we can teach you to paint. All you need to bring to the table is the willingness to learn. We'll take care of all the rest.
The Alexander Art Master Class, now at this intermediate level, teaches you more advanced techniques that experienced artists who have painted for years don't know. You see, we spent hundreds of hours watching Bill Alexander's videos and learning from him. We've distilled the essential elements of Bill's method of oil painting into this course. We're going to teach you techniques that many of Bill's fans don't know because they haven't studied him as we have.
Incremental and Progressive
Just like with the Introductory course, each painting builds on the prior painting. You learn more advanced techniques and concepts of the Bill Alexander Method that Bill didn't have time to show in his twenty-eight minute PBS television show. Every painting from "Tuscan Villa" to "Utopia" is a beautiful work of art you'll be proud to hang in your home or give as gifts to friends and family.
Designed for you!

Learn these powerful techniques quickly because of what you've already learned in the Introductory Course.

- Learn the simple but effective techniques "Old Masters" like Rembrandt and Leonardo da Vinci used to create the most enduring and beautiful artworks of all time.

- Enjoy that sense of accomplishment and pride that comes from a job well done (and being complimented by your friends and family).
