Caudwells Mill Drawing

Caudwells Mill - pencil drawing by Michael Dale

Dear Fellow Art Lover

A year ago I discovered an old green cloth bound art book. This was a book written over 150 years ago. At first glance it didn’t look much at all, with its grubby and slightly battered cover. As I flicked through the pages it didn’t look as if it could change my opinion of it… there were plenty of words but very few pictures (I really do like to look at pictures in an art book).

Just as I was about to place the book back on the bookstore shelf, something on the title page inside caught my eye. Instantly,  I knew I had discovered something special (you‘ll learn more about that, as you read on). I had to have it…

As soon as the first page opened I read the words…

“My DEAR READER, Whether this book is to be of use to you or not, depends wholly on your reason for wishing to learn to draw… If you desire only… to amuse yourself listlessly in listless hours, I cannot help you.”

This seems a strange way to open a book. These are blunt words, indeed. The question is…


“Are you serious about learning to draw?”


The author then goes on to say…

“But, if you wish to learn drawing that you may be able to… set down clearly, and usefully, records of such things as cannot be described in words… Then I can help you. Or, which is better, show you how to help yourself.”

Now, this is an offer you cannot refuse. This long dead Art Expert is giving you a guarantee that…

“If you are serious about learning to draw… Then I can help you… or, which is better, I can show you how to help yourself.”

Interesting... What kind of offer is this? Is the promise false? Is this yet another shallow promise that comes to nothing?

As each page turned, this forgotten art book revealed things I didn’t know (even though I have been drawing and painting for more than 30 years). It showed me art secrets from the past that I didn’t know existed. It is a real eye-opener.

This isn’t flash, quick-to-do, rubbish written by a nobody that tells you nothing useful. You aren’t going to be left alone not knowing what to do next. This is stuff no art beginner (or artist at any level) should be without…
  • If you can draw a sequence of simple lines… you can learn to draw well
  • If you can fill a square with dashes… you can become an artist
See below…
  1. Do you think you could draw 4 straight(ish) lines to form a rough square shape?
squares
  1. Do you think you could fill-in the square shapes with marks like this?
hatching

If so, you could be at the beginning… You could soon be on your way towards becoming a great artist. Not too difficult to do, is it?

And the offer gets even better, with the assurance that…

“If you are prepared to work hard… Practice for 1 hour a day for 6 months… Some 150 hours practice will give you sufficient power of drawing faithfully whatever you want to draw”

So, to put things bluntly…

“Are you serious about learning to paint and draw?”

Or, are you just somebody who likes the idea of waving a paint brush about… with no real intention of putting in the hard work necessary to become a good artist?

The choice is yours…

You have the potential to become a great artist. If you do want to discover lost drawing and painting techniques, read on… and discover how to get this great art resourcee for FREE.

So, would you like to learn the lost secrets of Art that were taught by the old Master Artists to their students… the best of which became recognized masters in their own times?

Do you want follow the learning from somebody who could talk, as an equal, to many of the great names of Art of his time, such as JMW Turner, about even greater master artists like Titian, Leonardo Da’Vinci and Raphael?

Or, would you prefer to build your artistic foundations on loose sand... from so-called "experts" who know little more than you?

Surely, it is better to grow your knowledge and talents slowly and surely. This way, you can build your artistic future on the rock of art knowledge you could soon have at your fingertips…
  • You will learn drawing techniques that drove the industrial revolution… design and crafts use these techniques… they are disappearing fast as computers take over.
  • You will learn to see through the eyes of a Master Artist… look at the world as the great artists would.
  • You will learn to draw anything you want… you will learn how a common garden stone helps you see the world around you.

Imagine yourself stood at your favourite beauty spot, knowing that you could create a landscape painting that would be the envy of your friends…

A painting that you could sell in an Art Gallery...

Garedn Gate - pastel Drawing

Through The Garden Gate - pastel painting by Michael Dale


As you read through the 1st letter, the author, sometimes speaks like a strict Victorian school headmaster. Take notice of what he says but don’t worry… he knows that things go wrong. He gives you the rules to work to… then gives you permission to make the mistakes.
  • He acknowledges that you cannot be perfect at the beginning.
  • He recognizes that, although you want to follow the guidance, you may find it hard to get it right to begin with
  • He gives you permission to fail.
What he doesn’t like is that you give up trying altogether… so he varies the exercises to give you a break.

He also shows you ways to make sure that you can put your mistakes right… in fact, he tries to make it hard for you to get it wrong.

Some of the drawing tricks have not been heard of before…

Right from the start he gets you doing an exercise that is so simple and easy to do. Yet, what he is showing you will help you give your drawing density... this is what will make your flat 2D drawings look solid and substantial. This drawing technique gives body to your drawing… yet it is so simple a child could do it without thinking.

And, do you know how hard it is to get watercolor paints to go exactly where you want the color to go?

You are shown  how to get your watercolor to cover consistently… to stop the watercolor making uneven patches... and going where you don't want it to go (this is something I have always struggled with).

Most important of all, this expert tells you how to look at objects...

Your eyes will be opened wide. He shows you how to see what is in front of you....
  • He shows you how the spaces in between are as important as the subject itself.
  • He shows you how to make an almost perfect copy by making as many mistakes you can… it is so obvious when you know the secret.
