  • Have you tried painting before and your work just looked amateurish?

      These lessons will help you reach better goals!
  • Have you had painting lessons before, and your work just didn't seem to improve?

      These lessons will improve your painting!
  • Have you wanted to start an exciting and rewarding hobby yet didn't know where to take the first step?

      This step by step process is for beginners through experienced artists.
  • Have you ever wondered if your part time hobby could turn into something more?

      If this doesn't get your heart pumping, not much will.


  • Hi, my name is Delmus Phelps. I've been painting for over 35 years, (my first commissioned sale was in 1974!) and along the way, I've learned a great many things that I would like to pass along to you!

    Allow me to qualify a statement I made earlier in believing this is one of the most effective oil painting methods ever developed. I've tried most of them on the market today, and I keep coming back to these simple truths. And I've been painting most of my adult life! The final clincher for me though, is in the galleries! I explain further down the page, so.....

    I've put some of my own art work here from using A Real Art Lesson in order for you to appreciate the style of painting that I do, and the type of paintings that this technique will allow you to create.

    Why do I put my own work here for you to see?


    Quite simply, so you can judge for yourself the quality of the art. Most of the art lessons that I see online are not for paintings like these! So much is left out and you only get a part of the story. It also will help in your understanding of the depth, color and style of this wonderful technique that I show you!

  • Yes, you really can paint like this using this technique. Can you write your A,B,C's? Then you have enough eye to hand coordination to do this. If you can tell the difference between green, red and blue, then you have enough learned skills already to take this course!

  • I don't just show you how to create one painting! I show you in depth, the technique that will allow you to free your mind of the how-to's and concentrate on the joy and beauty of the painting you are creating. (Like any craft, once you know the steps, you can then concentrate on the statement, the beauty, the image you have in your mind.)

  • Not sure how to start? I show you each and every step. Canvas, brushes, paints, mediums! I explain what they are for, what works for me, what other artists use and works for them.

  • You will know exactly how to start your painting. You will know exactly when the painting is finished! No more anxiety of wondering should you add just this little more.


  • Concerned you may be too old to start a hobby like this? My web guru showed me an interesting statistic. Most of my customers were indeed retired! Wow! (And you can see some of their great work on my site). So don't be afraid to get started.

  • Concerned you may be too young to try this? I first learned this technique from my High School Teachers! (which placed me in the late teens) and one of my first paintings won a prestigious statewide wildlife award.

  • Concerned about having to follow a bunch of rules? Don't be! Painting is like music. Music has a process or formula that is followed to make it sound good. Like playing the violin, these tools merely show you How To Play. I show you how to finger the strings and saw to bow! You play the individual notes and the music is still your very own!



  • From Susan in Maine:

    "When I viewed the paintings on the "A Real Art Lesson" ebook cd tears came to my eyes. The work is stunning and truly inspires me to paint again."

    From Deborah in Oklahoma:

    "Thanks Delmus your e-book is great, I see things I've been doing wrong already."

    Don't have a computer in your art studio? No problem! With the hi quality PDF format, you can print out this manual and view these great instructions/photo's from anywhere! (Every e-book I've ever owned, I've done this to. I read better from a hardcopy book for some reason)

    Alot of folks would say, "it's impossible to learn to paint like this without years of instruction." I beg to differ. It's the PROCESS that makes it soooo simple. If you are not satisfied in any way with the instruction, just drop me a line, I have an unconditional money-back guarantee!

    A beginning artist? I have a whole section on brushwork just for you. How to make soft transitions you see in watercolor work, how to make hard and soft edges, (and why they are important).

    Give it a try risk free! I know you'll be satisfied with the instruction, and you will learn tools that will give you a Lifetime of artistic freedom and joy!

    You will need Acrobat Adobe Reader to view this e-book. (Most all e-books are now in this format and most computers already have the program to read them, but just in case, I include links on the download page for you to get your copy.)

    Now, who should NOT order this e-book?

    If you think your painting will be completed in one 20 minute session, sorry. This is not a one session painting technique. Look closely at the work. There is a much deeper expression of artistry and detail, nuances within the paintings that cannot be duplicated using a wet in wet or one stroke technique! It is not something that will be done quickly. So if you prefer a one stroke technique, or the wet-in-wet techniques of Bob Ross, this oil painting technique is not that type of painting.

    If you want to jump straight into portrait painting? The technique is used in portraiture and in landscapes, I do discuss some the preliminary differences, but this course (at least the demonstrations are) primarily geared for the still life. In the schools of yesteryear, the beginning artist started out in the still life, and progressed into portraiture and landscapes. If you are a beginning artist, and want to go straight into these genre's then this course may not be for you. IF you are an intermediate artist, it can be easily adapted to the portrait and the landscape as you will already know some of their fundamentals.

    From Carol in Virginia

    All I can say is THANK YOU! I am not a formal artist, but have always loved art and want to learn to paint. You are so clear in your presentations, all my questions that I have never understood, are answered now.

    You have given me inspiration...I will get started, and am anxious to start another picture using your stages as described in your book.

    This is the best $MONEY$ I've ever spent!

    From BB

    "32 years ago I had just given birth to my 5th child. A month early, she weighed 11 pounds, 14 1/2 ounces, breech. I was so jazzed I walked the halls all night. The nurses kept trying to get me to go lie down but I was supercharged. and oddly, it was not the birthing of a baby, it was the birthing of an idea. The calendar over the nurses station was a photo of Picasso Blue Period, where he drew/painted a lady on a piece of masonite or paper bag. I "saw" that for the first time. I'd already had a semester with Siegfried Hahn, and I knew sharp focus was the way I wanted to work. I also knew the Old Masters way was the vehicle. I could never find the "notes" to back me up. I started back to college when my 9th child started first grade. I was 48 years old. Four years to get my BAFA. And now I have this lesson that will help me do it "my way" finally. I wish I had this ebook lesson back in 2000 to show my professors that I did know there was a process that they refused to teach me. FINALLY! My thanks. "

    Don't delay, click below to order right now!

    You have everything to gain, and nothing to lose!





    P.S. By placing your order now, I'll include some great bonus offers!



    The first is an e-book on DRAWING & ANATOMY By Victor Perard. The hard cover volumn for this book sells for up to $88 on Amazon, but for a limited time, you can get this PDF version downloaded to your computer for free!

    Let me tell you alittle about this bonus. Are you interested, truly interested in improving your drawing skills, and drawing of the human anatomy? This book is over 165 pages of skeleton, skulls (too cool for the tattoo artist) muscle, human motion, etc. Here's just a small picture from what you will find in it!

    Impressed? I was, and to find it was a real treat. I thought, wow, what a great bonus gift, so here it is. Included with your purchase of "A Real Art Lesson"



    And here is my 2nd fantastic bonus for you!



    "Composition" A Series of exercises in Art Structure for the use of students and teachers by: Arthur Wesley Dow



    Here's an actual excerpt:

    ""Composition was chosen as a title because that word expresses the idea upon which the method here presented is founded the "putting together" of lines, masses and colors to make a harmony.Design, understood in its broad sense, is a better word, but popular usage has restricted it to decoration. Composition, building up of harmony, is the fundamental process in all the fine arts. I hold that art should be approached through composition rather than through imitative drawing. The many different acts and processes combined in a work of art may be attacked and mastered one by one, and thereby a power gained to handle them unconsciously when they must be used together. If a few elements can be united harmoniously, a step has been taken toward further creation.""



    In other words, your painting and or drawing skills may not be the best, but if the harmony, composition of the piece is done well, the work will be recognized as a great piece of art!

    I can attest to this in my own work. When the composition wasn't right, the work collected dust in the galleries back closet. Don't let that happen to you! Get this bonus e-book when you order my Real Art Lesson!

    And here is yet one more great e-book!


    Fun with a Pencil by Andrew Loomie.

    This e-book has been out there in various places, but is hard to come by.

    Some of the younger crowd will really get into this oneas it shows you in very basic steps on how to draw simple forms, to more complex forms, and finally, some serious fine art!

    It start you off with the human head, then he moves you through the body, hands, clothing, simulated movement, and into perspective, light and shadow, and ending with this great example!

    People simply love these lessons on how to paint using this method!
