Art Instruction

PAINTTUBE.TV

When Eric was first learning art he bought some videos which were good but not great. So many years later he started making his own, making sure they were produced with Hollywood-level production, clear close-ups, professional in every way with top tier cameras and lights, and professional film makers. We have produced several hundred full length courses from the world’s leading artists. You can watch online, get a dvd, or you can watch on your app on your phone, tablet, pc or on our Roku app. Check out our extensive library of art instructional videos and take the next step in your painting. Head over to PaintTube.TV 

ART SCHOOL LIVE

We believe anyone can learn to paint or draw, so start here! LIVE weekdays at 12 noon ET, publisher Eric Rhoads invites top artists to teach for an hour. Subscribe to our YouTube page to start learning today!

PAINT BY NOTE

Eric’s first art instructor confused, frustrated, and discouraged him. His second taught him a system to simplify painting, and it was the foundation every artist needs. Eric has refined it and called it the “paint by note” system… because like music, if you learn a few notes on one scale, you can play anything. If you learn a few simple painting notes, you’ll be on the path to success. This even works if you have zero talent, and can barely paint a stick figure. Get instant access for free at PaintByNote.com and watch your paintings improve.
