Level Up Your Paintings with This Secret Weapon...

Secret Weapon. Magic Bullet. Golden Ticket. Ace in the Hole.
Each of these phrases stir something up inside of us. You know why?

We may not want to admit it openly, but in the safety of this conversation, let’s just put our cards on the table. We all want to win!

But what if there really was a secret weapon to creating better paintings. Wouldn't you want to know what it is?

And what if I told you that famous artists for centuries have deployed just such a weapon to hit the mark and raise the bar in their work. I believe it's possible that one critical tool can hold the power to single-handedly elevate your work from average to amazing. The magic bullet has arrived.

Yet artists are often resistant to putting this tool to work for them. Why? I think one reason is because we think it will slow us down. We want to get down to the real business of painting. You know the old adage, fools rush in. We confuse our initial burst of inspiration for preparation, and rush right past this critical stage of development. So, would you like to know what it is?

Your golden ticket has arrived. The secret weapon to better paintings is (drumroll please...) thumbnail sketching.

Thumbnail sketches are quickly executed, small problem-solving exercises that serve three specific goals in the planning of your next painting.

Be sure to check out the guide to learn these three goals that are so important to pursue if you want to correctly deploy this powerful tool and gain maximum results. Victory is as simple as 1, 2, 3.
