Private Online Instructional Painting Broadcasts – Come Join Us
January 13, 2010
Come join us online and watch as I create my gallery oil paintings, and text a conversation with me and other students during the many sessions that we have each week. This is a private broadcast for paying members only. I will also help you with a painting of your own. Right now several of my students are working on their own paintings and I am helping them a little along the way.
If interested in joining us, please email me at Mark@MarkLovettStudio.com for more details.

It was really great watching you paint like this, and mixing your paints too. THANKS for trying something new.

====================================
I joined Mark last night and all I can say to the others, I have already gotten my moneys worth in one evening, he is so sharing. We had a continuous and fascinating interchange discussing all the stuff I need to learn more about. Values, soft edges, hard edges, reasons why, color choices and shifts and mixes I have not even thought or heard of before.
Right now he is at the stage of final finite applications, divulging methods only a painter of his caliber knows.
True if any of you are looking for a site that is more social this is the wrong place. But if you want to immerse yourself into serious learning to advance your craft, this is an opportunity that you normally only find by travelling, staying in a hotel for weeks on end and paying thousands of dollars for sharing it all with a crowd of people around you.
I can understand if you prefer to wait to start and paint a new piece with him, I”ll be there and would love to see you there too.
And no, neither Mark or Laurel know of me writing this until the moment I hit the reply button.

After 20,000 plus hours of experience in creating my figurative and portrait oil paintings, (including study, books, seminars, workshops, live drawing and painting practice), as well as successful sales in many high end galleries in New York, Hollywood, and throughout the country, I have decided to open up and share my knowledge and valuable techniques that I have developed over the years in my instructional videos. I am confident that much of what you will learn from me is not availible elsewhere.
In my videos, you will get a very candid inside look at my process. Nothing is staged. This is not high quality video production, but the content will be very valuable to you. This is reality TV, and I bare it all. The other aspect that makes these videos special is the fact that you will see me creating my actual paintings that get SOLD at high end galleries.
I also make myself available for questions. I love inspiring and helping people, and I would love to get to know you and perhaps help you acheive your dream.
Check out the below link to see all the videos I have created for you so far.

30×30″ oil on linen, recently completed, “Lady Bug” painting was sold today at Rehs Gallery which is located on 57th St in Manhatten NY,NY.
Although it’s tough to let this baby go, it is very rewarding to know that my work is appreciated, and people do occasionally vote with their checkbooks.
I would like to thank Howard at Reh’s Gallery, my lovely wife Laurel, my family, friends, collectors, Brydon (my muse) and her mother, and everyone who helps me continue to create my art.

Toning The Canvas – Video Available
December 6, 2009
After the canvas is stretched properly, often the next thing that I do will be to tone the canvas. I usually do not want to begin the painting from the white canvas alone, but I rather I chose a color temperature and value to cover the entire canvas based on the work that I am about to begin. This will help unify the work and give me an easier value to work with.
In this video download, I discuss various options and the decision making process that goes into this procedure and you can actually watch me apply the tone. I will let it dry for a day or two before I go on to the next stage.
If you have a question after watching the video download, I will be happy to do my best to answer it if you log into my Ustream chat room when Im broadcasting live.
I will make the download available to you after you send payment to Mark@MarkLovettStudio.com with Paypal by clicking the button below.

I have three video downloads totaling 42 minutes that actually show me preparing the 30×36″ stretcher bars and stretching the linen canvas. During the process I discuss my decision making process and related issues.
As I’m sure you are aware, it is very important to have a great surface to paint on. It makes all the difference in the finished work. Store bought canvases are rarely suitable. Finding the right canvas in the right size when I need it in a store is almost impossible. As artists we need to know how to create a fantastic support to paint on, in short notice, in the specific size we need, BEFORE the passion to create wanes.
If you have any questions after watching the video downloads, I will be happy to do my best to answer them if you log in to my Ustream.tv chat room when Im broadcasting live.
I will make the downloads available to you after you send payment to Mark@MarkLovettStudio.com with Paypal by clicking the button below.

The signature on the painting is an intregal part of the art work and may be very important to the overall appearance and desirability of the finished painting. Early in my career I gave very little consideration to the signature, but now I think carefully about the statement I want to make with it.
In this 12 minute video I discuss my thought process in deciding placement, size, color temperature and value of the signature. If after watching the video you have a question, feel free to log in to my Ustream.tv chat room when I am doing a live broadcast and I will do my best to answer it for you.

Now that we have finished creating our master piece, it’s important to take a great digital image to be used for selling reproductions of the work, as well as for marketing and archival purposes. I created a 15 minute video where I am discussing my thought process as I take a photo of my recently completed 24×36″ oil painting titled “Ballerina In The Park”.
You can view the actual photograph I took of the finished painting on my blog titled “Ballerina In The Park Finish”.
I am a professional photographer and painter, my work can be seen on MarkLovettPhotography.com, and I photograph all of my paintings. In this short video, you can watch me do the actual photography and I explain what I am doing as I go along.
I am offering this video for sale for only $49, and as a bonus, if you have one question, I will be happy to answer it for you when you log into my Ustream.tv chat room during any one of my live oil painting broadcasts within 7 days of your purchase. As soon as payment is made via Paypal to Mark@MarkLovettStudio.com , by clicking the below button, the video link will be made available to you.
In addition, to further improve your skills in this area, add only $99 to your payment, and I will provide some additional coaching to you. You can email me one of your painting photos and we will discuss how you can improve your photography of your work.
