Episode - 02
Filmed on Location at - Austin, Texas
Eric Rhoads is driven to help people learn to paint. Because painting changed his life he has a goal to teach a million people to paint because painting brings joy into your life, reduces stress, makes you happier, and it taps into your creative side.
Eric's story is pretty amazing. Other than coloring and painting sloppy pictures in grade school Eric had not painting experience and he had zero talent. He could not even draw a stick figure.
In his late thirties Eric thought it would be fun to learn to paint but he did not really believe he had what it takes. At the time he believed painters doing beautiful pictures had some form of natural gift or natural talent. He later proved that was wrong.
Eric Rhoads went to an art store and bought some paints, tried to copy some pictures and had bad luck, got frustrated and quit. But his observant wife thought maybe some lessons would help so she gave him lessons for his 40th birthday.
That did not work out too well. The teacher wanted Eric to express himself and throw paint on the canvas, which did not excite him. He wanted to learn to paint a flower or a vase or a landscape or a person. He was told "no one does that anymore." So, he quit.
By luck a year later Eric met a taxi driver who told him about an instructor with an impressive training background. Intimidated, Eric thought about it for a year before showing up, and when he did, he turned around and walked about because of all the great work the students were doing. "They must have natural talent," he thought, "I can't do this". Fortunately the instructor, Jack Jackson, saw him, and encouraged him to stay. He told Eric that he had a system the old masters used that no one used for teaching anymore and that he could turn Eric into a painter fast. So, Eric stayed.
In just a week Eric had produced his first beautiful painting and soon he was painting some impressive paintings of people and landscapes.

GREAT SHOW!! Eric actually inspired me that I too can learn to paint even tho I'm 59! He didnt make me feel "too old" to start and succeed.
Ive wanted to learn for YEARS! Finally found lessons 15 years ago. Bought supplies, was given graphite paper to trace an outline provided in a book. Using the directions and pictures I was to replicate another person's painting. Not what I expected nor liked...
I bought (continue to buy) good books. I began to learn about value, point of interest, etc. I've "piddled" (terrible work) in oils and watercolor while searching for an instructor in this small rural area that doesn't value art. Last year it was dropped anot elective for our students!!!
I'm looking up Eric's website.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! God Bless You, Nancy
Absolutely wonderful! Eric, you are inspirational for the way you have combined your artistic and business traits together and for sharing them with others. Thank you to Eric for sharing his gift and knowledge! Graeme, thank you not only for presenting Eric, but for sharing your combined gifts of art/business as well. Peace and Live Creatively!
Yes, WELCOME to Texas.
Painting AND marketing - just what I need! Thank you Eric and Graeme.
We all want it to sell, right?
you might check out artmarketing.com for ideas.
i like that sight-size rig... and the red glasses. nice art too.
I enjoyed this
wow Richard schmid, what a honor.
great video Greame.
I love that bike ride intro.I want to do that one day.
Greyscale. Yes. I have been on a marathon watching, Mr Graeme Stevenson's Artist''s video's, and this is the first Artist I have come across who uses greyscale as I do. A very giving artist is Eric Rhoads...so I will head on over to his website and see if he still has his free booklet, or if everyone of the 19 thousand plus viewers got there first:)
This was so enjoyable and informative! I've been painting for 30 something years, I didn't really seek it out initially,I just sketched my dog because he had gone missing. And just took it from there. But now the kids are grown, and I want to step out with my art, maybe make a living I find I have a block. I've mostly given away my paintings, a small amount were sold. It's not easy to break a habit of a lifetime. Thanks for sharing this. So very much appreciated
SO nice of you to say. I'd love to see what you're painting!
B. Eric Rhoads I paint mainly in oils, but started to enjoy acrylics while studying for my art certificate. I did do one odd piece completely out of cow manure. It was a knee jerk reaction to modern art at the time. Not sure how to make contact. I really appreciate your comment. You've made my night :-) I hope you enjoy the rest of yours
Lovely video..!! And painting~
Great show as usual Graeme. Thanks. Eric Rhodes love your paint by notes idea. I'll check out your site.
Cool, thanks. There is a free book there to teach anyone to paint, including free video lessons.
Awesome and beautiful work!! :)
Thank you!
This was one of the best of your series Graeme. Eric you are an inspiration to artists. It is heartwarming to see someone of your caliber caring about other artists in such a humane way. I have been to art classes but have not seen a tutor who teaches his students how to market their art work. I will be watching your videos and would love to have one of your dvds. Where can I find them? Many thanks again to you Eric and to Graeme of having introduced Eric to us.
Thanks Maysoon, always great to get your comments. Eric and I have the same ethos towards this and I am very happy to have been able to do this with him, Graeme
You're so kind Maysoon. My paint by note system is all at PaintByNote.com and my marketing DVDs at StreamlineArtVideo.com. Also info at EricRhoads.com.
What a fantastic interview thank you so much I am once again inspired , thank you Graeme and crew for all you do to bring these wonderful artists into our lives. Friend Marci Ellaville, Georgia
Thanks Marci, spread the word for us, Graeme
I share each time I watch your show to every site I can because I love what y'all do!!!
Thanks Marcia, its great to have folks that are out there helping us, many years of very hard work to get this to the place it is now, Graeme
Thank you.
@B. Eric Rhoads I found that your techniques are much the same as the techniques I have learned over the years for my photography I am excited to learn and use these same techniques to learn to paint , thanks again :)
I listened to the podcast the other day of the two of you. And like most that he does, I'm never sure if Eric is interviewing, you are interviewing him, or he is interviewing himself. " the other day I was talking to ( insert name-drop here),......". But I still listen to all his podcasts because they are well done and very informative. And his guests are awesome - even himself!
Thanks Jamie, we had a great day with each other any way, Graeme
I didn't mean it as a bad thing. Like I said, I listen to his podcasts all the time. And I know Eric is very well-respected in the Art world, and you don't earn that level of respect without a reason - and that usually involves a lot of hard work.
He always has very interesting guests and there are many artists I am now familiar with, because of him.
But more importantly, when are YOU coming to Canada?
Need folks in Canada to help us put this together and thus far havent found anyone reliable that can help. Maybe one day, Graeme
Thanks. Yes I tend to add some color so that it relates. Hope that's ok :-)
I had my wife pick up a copy of Plein Air magazine when she was in the U.S. last weekend. If I like it, I'll subscribe. Thanks.
Amazing
Thank you.
thank you.
Who was the painter/instructor he is talking about at the beginning that he studied under for two years?
Not sure Daniel, why dont you reach out to Eric and ask him personally , he's very approachable, Graeme
Thanks, Graeme. I was just curious.
Jack Jackson was the instructor's name. It is mentioned in Eric's PaintByNote PDF.
Maybe Joe McGurl.
Looking again, I think I was referring to Jack Acetus Jackson. (Now deceased). Can't find much on him because he died pre-internet, but he studied under Niedra Simi, Ives Gammel and Frank Reilly.
