Instructor Details

Joseph Patric Daniels

Ive made a living as fine artist and illustrator based in NYC for over 20 years,exhibited internationally and won awards for painting. I studied at the School of Visual Arts among other institutions, where I learned most of these techniques.
During that time, I worked for artists like Tom Weselmann, (now considered one of the greatest pop artists who ever lived) Marjorie Stryder, and Kevin Barrett, whom I helped fabricate large scale metal sculptures for. Since then, Ive gone on to show from Galleries in Manhattan like Joseph Nahmad, to international shows like Art Basel.
I write and teachunder a under a pseudonym because of a teacher I had back when I was studying in college. He taught at the School Of Visual Arts for decades and throughout that time he had a strict policy of never showing his students his own work. (This was all the way back in 1995, so it wasnt as simple as googling his name to see a list of his paintings). His philosophy, which I have chosen to adopt, was that showing your students your work stifles them creatively and theyll likely just end up making paintings that look like yours. And let me tell you, he was right. I saw plenty of students coming out of very expensive classrooms producing carbon copies of their teachers work- and thats the last thing I want to achieve from creating this class. I want to give you the tools to have complete creative freedom to paint and express yourself, without giving up from frustration like so many before us. Wha

Very in-depth course, and I learned al lot about drawing in general and faces specifically. Good to know how to take proper dimensions of the subject in a simple way. I liked that he took his time and not fast forwarded any of his drawing. As beginner may be sometimes too much focus on the perfection of shading and values.

This course was amazing! I enjoyed art as a teenager but never really had much opportunity as an adult to explore it further. It was a bit scary at first putting pencil to paper but the lessons were so gradual and detailed, explaining not just each step but why it was important, that I felt comfortable giving it a go. I think it's really critical to follow the instructions carefully to get the most out of the course. I often paused the video and sometimes went back to re-listen to the instructions to make sure I was getting it right. Not sure I'd have done as well in a class setting, the videos were great as I could go at my own pace - which was very slow :-) Thanks so much Joseph!

I could not be happier! If you are prepared to put in the work, you will learn how to draw from a really good teacher. Even my wife is impressed with the results so far. When you see how you can progress and the results that you can produce, it gives you the motivation to keep going. I love it!

Excellent course. Joseph is very responsive and always provides thorough advice on improving skills

By Karen Morris on 10/17/2020

Such a great course! I learned so much. I will be taking How to paint from beginner to master next. Joseph is clearly an amazing artist and his style of teaching really worked for me. I especially appreciated the super quick feedback he sent when I had a question or just needed some feedback.

I hadn't picked up a pencil and paper in years, this course helped me brush up on my fundamentals in a concise informative fashion with challenging but rewarding assignments. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants classical training in art and drawing. Amazing course with a very helpful and dedicated teacher!

Thank you so much for making it possible for me to afford this coarse. This was my first time taking a class online or any art class for that matter. This coarse has taught me a lot and although it's going to take a while for me to truly understand all of it, I'm looking forward to your next class for beginners. Thank you again, Marilyn Welch
