How to Create an Underpainting Like The Old Masters: A Step-by-Step Guide

by Eric Bossik

Overview

Did you know that Rembrandt began every masterpiece with an underpainting? So did da Vinci. And if you ever dreamed of painting on their level, you will have to learn how to do it too. You can. Right here. Right now.

You see, the underpainting method has always been passed on from master to student. That's how the masters of realism learned it. That's how I learned it.

Now you can learn it from my new E-book How to Create An Underpainting Like the Old Masters.

It's almost impossible to create successful realism in oils without knowing what's in this book. With this book, you will learn to do in a few hours what legends in art learned serving apprenticeships with masters. And if you went to art classes to learn this method, you would have to pay hundreds ... if you could even find a class that teaches it.

The E-book teaches you the underpainting method step by step. It's the method that helped make Rembrandt, Da Vinci, Michelangelo and hundreds of others legends in their own time.
