Instructional DVD & Manual, Volume 1 Traditional Realist Oil Painting

American artist, Hall Groat II, in his unique instructional DVD series demonstrates the techniques of the lost art of traditional realist oil painting. In volume #1 he presents five comprehensive demonstrations, offering nearly 2 hours of solid instruction. The demonstrations included are of compositions involving: three lemons, radishes, ballet slippers, railroad conductor’s pocket watch, and teacup & saucer.

Through his innovative, step-by-step approach he outlines the process that was used by such 19th century painters as Edgar Degas and Edward Manet. Using an easily understood teaching approach, Hall reveals the secrets behind creating dramatic light and shadow illusions to compelling atmospheric spaces, all the way to rendering convincing three-dimensional illusions of form and space.

The included DVD, along with the accompanying manual, present a concise step-by-step system, offering both the beginning and the professional artist the necessary tools to successfully create traditional realist still life oil paintings. Such topics are covered as establishing background variation and movement, accents and cast shadows, and realizing the primary and secondary planes of the motif. Each of the five demonstrations is divided into phases with clearly stated topic headings that correspond to the steps presented in the instructional guide. A glossary of painting terms is also included! All of the demonstrations are approximately 15-30 minutes in length.

Hall has taught art for over twenty years, and currently is an ociate Professor of Art at a college in New York. ARTNews Magazine critic, Gerard Haggerty, states that Hall Groat II’s still life paintings evoke the big picture that we call art history, including painters like Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin, Edwin Dickinson, and his teacher Lennart Anderson.” Collectors of his work have expressed that the work is “Alive, full of grace vitality and beauty, capturing light that is sublime in nature.”

Groat is included in important private and public collections worldwide. These include actors, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones, Clear Channel Communications, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Cellular One, Sheraton Hotel Corporation, Binghamton University, Everson Museum of Art, Munson-Williams Proctor Institute of Art, The State University of New York system, Roberson Museum and Science Center and Washington Jefferson College.

When the founder of GNLD, Jerry Brassfield, was a child, his daily life was hampered by severe asthma and hay fever. During certain seasons, the threat of respiratory failure was so severe that he slept sitting up; his life was at risk during those seasons.

Without health insurance, finding medicines ineffective and facing a limited budget, Jerrys mother researched alternatives. Armed with her newfound knowledge, she began supplementing Jerrys diet with nutritional supplements giving his body the building blocks needed to combat the diseases that threatened his life.

Today, many of the chronic diseases and conditions our population suffers from obesity, diabetes, heart disease are the result of improper diets. By filling in the nutritional gaps with supplements, these conditions can be helped, prevented and possibly even eliminated.

Excellent nutrition doesnt come as easily in todays society. While many countries face a food deficit, modernized countries face a different challenge.

In cultures such as ours, food supplies have become industrialized. Food is grown on vast corporate farms, harvested before the peak of nutrient development, then key nutrients are removed to extend shelf life, and they are processed and preserved for mass shipping and distribution across the country.

This industrialization of our food supply and our lifestyles drives people to make fast, convienient food choices that lack the nutrition our bodies need.

The result is a calorie-dense, nutrient-deficient diet that contributes to the epidemic of obesity, diabetes, heart disease and cancer.

GLOBAL HEALTH CRISIS

The current generation is facing diseases earlier than their grandparents ever dreamed. Type II diabetes is on the rise in this population, as is heart disease and cancer. Research has shown these conditions are the result of poor nutrition and may be aggravated by our industrialized food supply.

GNLD provides supplementation that helps create better health globally for nations short of food and for those with plenty of food but little nutrition.

THE Rx SOLUTION ISNT WORKING

Our healthcare industry has responded to the symptoms, conditions and diseases of decreased performance with an explosion of prescription medication.

These medications often compound the problem because they address the symptoms, not the causes, perpetuating and even fueling the situations by creating side effects and depleting the body of key nutrients which the healthcare industry then attempts to treat with further medications.

WHAT IS THE SOLUTION?

When costly prescription medicines didnt alleviate Jerry Brassfields health problems, his mother turned to better nutrition. Her wellness solution was also a relief to the familys budget, as each doctors visit was a financial burden.
Today, better nutrition remains a smarter approach and nutritional supplements offer cost-effective performance to ensure optimal health is maintained.

Best of all, todays supplements offer the convenience our industrialized society demands.

When Jerry became an adult, his personal experience had already built a strong belief in nutritional supplements as an exceptional resource for wellness, so he combined his passion for excellent nutrition with a plan to help families end their financial struggle.
The result is a company now known as GNLD. A company that is helping remedy the global health and nutrition crisis with whole-food, scientifically proven supplements.

BASED IN NATURE, BACKED BY SCIENCE

GNLDs approach to nutritional supplements is based in nature, backed by science.

They focus on creating supplements that address and fill in the gaps of what is missing from most diets. GNLDs commitment to finding nutrition based in nature has made it the leader in whole-foods supplements.

For more than 50 years, GNLD has been at the forefront of nutrition technology. They have devotes millions of dollars to research and advancing the development of nutritional supplements.

Their results are enjoyed every day by people around the world, who now experience a better quality of life.
