I discovered this unique gas station overgrown with weeds on the outskirts of Santa Barbara. After later research I learned that it’s an historical landmark and was used in the filming of the classic movie “The Postman Always Rings Twice.” On the net I even found photos of how this beautiful filling station looked in its heyday.

BIG NEWS FOR ARTISTS: "HOW TO PAINT BIG" - I am now taking pre-orders for the newest set of videos taken from my TV series, in which I demonstrate how to create a large studio painting from a small plein air study.

The lesson is contained on two DVDs in which I create a 24x36 inch canvas from start to finish. In these 2 videos I share everything about the process, and the cameras capture it all, from details of my color-mixing on the palette to the way I lay strokes of paint on the canvas.

I also include tips on composition, blocking-in, values, edge treatment, aerial perspective, surface texture, how and when to use artistic license, plus much more.

I am now taking pre-orders for the first release of this 2-DVD set at a special price of $50. Don’t miss out. These videos also make unique Holiday gifts for your artist friends! Email me for details: tombrownstudio@cox.net.

Thanks for stopping to look.

Today’s happy thought:
