 What Attendees Are Saying…
"Worth every penny and more. I almost didn't sign up. So much information and more. Everyone is lifting each other up." 
- Michelle Montes Conboy
★★★★★
"Beyond my expectations. Learning from the best artists in the medium. Each day is packed with great sessions for artists of all skill levels." 
- Beth Ullmann
★★★★★
"...it was THE pivotal life changing event in my art career!" 
- Patricia Gray
★★★★★
"This was the best investment I could have made in my art. You pulled off a really magnificent feat. I've worked in the film industry, practiced law, taught law, and served as executive director of a large non-profit. Putting together a live program with 300 attendees is a bear. (I've done it). Getting anything major done on an internet platform is hard enough... and with top flight faculty? Managing to connect artists virtually? Kudos, hats off, bravo. And special kudos to your IT team. They deserve champagne at the very least." 
- Liza Karsai
★★★★★
"This is the best art school you'll have ever spent your $$$ on." 
- Chris Iskiw
★★★★★
"I would attend again, even though I have painted watercolors for decades." 
- Sandra Cointreau
★★★★★
"The level of skill, and the manner in which it was presented by the artists just reached inside me and pulled out inspiration, and built confidence in very unexpected ways. I did not just learn technical skills, but met hearts, minds and souls. If that weren't enough, the community built through chat and zoom took the whole experience to a level nearing out of this world. Then we add the generosity of sponsors and Eric and his team, and now we are out of this world! My heart is full, my head is full, and my inspiration is on full steam. 
I know life is different because of this experience, I can't wait to find out just what that means!" 
- Jodi Epp
★★★★★
"This is probably the best thing I've ever done in my life. Eric brought tears to my eyes." 
- Doris Mady

DOUBLE YOUR PAINTING ABILITY WITHIN 3 DAYS

Dear Artists,

Imagine what it would be like to double your painting ability in the next few months … and have rare access to some of the world's most accomplished artists to learn the techniques they have spent a lifetime figuring out, while spending the same (or even less) than you would spend on a workshop or a couple of videos.

Your confidence would skyrocket … you’d be able to paint things you never believed you could paint … you’d feel secure in your drawing skill … you wouldn’t have to spend your time worrying about how to get to the next level … you’d finally be able to "switch off" the anxiety of not being as good as you should be ... you'd actually enjoy the fruits of your hard work.

So ask yourself … 
Are you sick and tired of struggling in the studio trying to figure out how to take your artwork to the next level?

Do you wish you could be better at all forms of artwork you may encounter?

Wouldn’t it be nice to see how artists around the world approach painting and drawing so you can adopt the style and technique that best fits your personality? 

Are you fed up with the struggle of finding your own style? 

Then stop the stress and frustration of trying to figure these things out on your own and discover proven techniques, often handed down from generation to generation.

This isn’t just an art class, or even art school. It's a rare once-in-a-lifetime gathering of world-renowned artists we were able to gather only because of these unprecedented times. 

You’ll be able to shift your gears into full throttle and approach painting and drawing with confidence that you’re not only doing it right, you’re doing it well.

Many artists have seen their ability more than double by investing just three days of their time. At our last virtual conference, artist Elaine Miller told us she learned more in three days than four years of art school.

Sounds hard to believe, but it’s true. In fact, we’re so confident we can help you that we’ll even guarantee results — if you don’t feel like you’re improving your own artwork by the end of the very first day, we will provide you with a full refund and not even make you pay for the day you watched. 

YES! I WANT TO SEE MY ART GET BETTER AS FAST AS POSSIBLE

Here’s how It works. First, when you sign up we’ll send you a special link to the event. On the day we start, you simply click on that link. You can watch it on your phone, tablet, computer, or even your TV*. 

We’ll start out by building some energy in the morning. You can watch, or participate if you have a camera on your device. Then we’ll jump right into lessons. You can paint along, draw, or take notes. 

You can take breaks as you need them because you can watch your replay later. (Every registration comes with replays.) And a couple of times each day, we’ll hold breakout sessions where you can meet other artists and art materials suppliers. 

You’ll make friends all over the world. You can talk about what you’ve learned, about your artwork, or just learn about others. It's one of the best parts. We do it a couple times each day... then back to more lessons.

At the end of each day, we’ll have a virtual online cocktail hour, where our host, Eric Rhoads, will carry on a conversation with the entire group worldwide. And, if you want, you can paint along. We’ll provide a live model, a scene, or a project to paint each day.
 
Please note this goes on for three days from noon to 9 p.m. (Eastern Time). We suggest you block out the time as if you were going out of town for an event. And remember, if you're busy, you can go back and watch again and again.

Oh, if you’re a beginner — or not a beginner, you can join our Beginner's Day, where we will teach the basic watercolor principles at a beginner level. (Even the non-beginners will love seeing the instructors.)

The reality is that art is a process (but it's a lot of fun, even in the struggle). You’ll find yourself painting better as you recall lessons over the coming months as you paint and practice. The more you watch the replays and read your notes, the more you’ll recall. And you’ll see a dramatic increase in your ability following the conference. 
This Rare Online Art Conference Will Offer:
  • Best-in-Class Artists
  • Training
  • ​Demonstrations
  • ​Breakout rooms with others
  • ​Community
  • ​Painting and More!

Meet and Study with Artists All Over the World.

"...it was THE pivotal life changing event in my art career!" 
- Patricia Gray
★★★★★
"I honestly didn’t know what to expect. Realism Live rocked my world, is a game changer and life changing for me. I learned so much from everyone that presented and in the chats. I am encouraged, inspired, and so in awe of everything I learned (brain overload still - lol) I cried through watching several demos. This event was exactly what I needed to validate what I want to do. Now all I need to do, as Pierre would say, “Go Paint”. Which is exactly what I’m going to do." 
- Katie Manner

"This was the best investment I could have made in my art. You pulled off a really magnificent feat. I've worked in the film industry, practiced law, taught law, and served as executive director of a large non-profit. Putting together a live program with 300 attendees is a bear. (I've done it). Getting anything major done on an internet platform is hard enough. Putting on a live virtual program with attendees from around the world during a pandemic? With top flight faculty? Managing to connect artists virtually? Kudos, hats off, bravo. And special kudos to your IT team. They deserve champagne at the very least."

No Talent? Can’t Draw a Stick Figure?

IF YOU WANT TO LEARN PAINTING THIS BEGINNER DAY COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER
Lack confidence? Don’t believe you could possibly create such beautiful artwork? 

That was me. I had NO TALENT. 

I’m Eric Rhoads, the host of this conference, and I knew I had no talent. I did not believe I could ever paint, yet today I paint beautiful pictures and my work is sold in three art galleries. 

The first step is the hardest. 

You can learn to paint. Even if you feel you have two left feet and don’t believe it for a minute. You see, it's a myth that talent is required. Painting and drawing are step-by-step processes. If you can follow a recipe, you can learn to paint. 

I’m so confident you can learn to paint that I’ll REFUND 100% OF YOUR MONEY if you attend our Beginner's Day and don’t feel you can learn to paint or draw. 

Then, keep practicing what you’ve learned, and you’ll see that yes, even you can become an artist.
