For anyone who wants to create a jaw-dropping lion painting worth hanging on the wall
Paint a Glowing Neon Lion Portrait In a Weekend
Introducing the ONLY online course that teaches you how to create a vibrant “neon” lion portrait… right from the comfort of your home!
Imagine this:
Your canvas is up. Eight colors laid out beside it in a circle.
Your brush touches the canvas — and you honestly can't tell if that's nerves or excitement.
Then something happens. You stop thinking.
Hours vanish the way they did when you were a kid.
The phone doesn't matter. The to-do list doesn't matter.
Nothing exists except this brush and where it goes next.
You build the mane. Stroke after stroke, the way the fur flows.
Violet. Blue. Magenta bleeding into orange.
And then you look up…
…and a lion is looking back at you.
But you're not finished.
You brighten the brights.
You pull a little dark around the edges.
And the whole thing lights up.
You stand there. An inch taller. FLOORED by the beautiful creation your own two hands just made.
A Vibrant Lion YOU Made… That Looks Like Something You'd Pay For!!!
It sounds like a dream come true.
But it's possible…
Including for beginners.
Including for people who'd tell you flat out that they “can't draw.”
Inside The Glowing Neon Lion Class!
What Is The Glowing Neon Lion Class?
It's a 5-module, at-home video course for anyone who wants to create a vibrant, glowing lion portrait.
Paint along as pro-artist Dan Nav takes you from a blank canvas to a finished, framed-worthy piece. Stop, pause, rewind as many times as you like to ensure you get it right.
Unlike other courses, we don't deal with color theory, drawing skills, or anything like that before you're “allowed to start”. Instead we use the Trace, Layer, Refine method, so you can skip straight to creating your gorgeous lion.
The Glowing Neon Lion Class Is A Shortcut.
Because unlike most classes, which expect you to work for years before you create something you're actually proud of…
The Trace, Layer, Refine method skips over all of that. It lets you hit the fast-forward button.
So if you can skip the years of skill development and the failed canvases, and fast-forward straight to a vibrant, glowing lion portrait…
Inside You'll Discover
How to create a “neon” look without a single tube of fluorescent paint. (Module 1)
The strange reason Dan deliberately leaves large parts of the lion completely unpainted during the first layer… (Module 3)
The exact three-color sequence that makes a lion's eye come to life. (Module 5)
Pure yellow ruins your painting more often than not. Here's what to do instead… (Module 4)
The “two-circle” shortcut Dan uses to build a lion's head without trying to freehand the entire animal at once. (Module 2)
How to make yellow appear brighter without adding brighter yellow. (Module 4)
Why violet and magenta must NEVER touch on your palette. (Module 1)
The counterintuitive fur-painting trick where doing less detail makes your lion look more realistic. (Module 4)

The “color contamination” problem that quietly ruins acrylic paintings — and how Dan fixes it with a cheap plastic plate. (Module 1)
Why Dan's first layer looks nothing like the finished Neon Lion — and why that's exactly what beginners should want. (Modules 3–4)
The imaginary grid trick for centering your lion on the canvas right every time. (Module 2)
Two microscopic dots of paint that can completely change the expression of your lion. (Module 5)
The “magenta bridge” trick that makes your color transitions natural instead of jarring. (Module 4)
Why Dan NEVER starts his paintings with black. (Module 3)
The “extreme contrast” trick responsible for much of the painting's neon appearance. (Module 4)
The beginner sketching mistake that becomes much harder to fix once the first layer of acrylic goes down. (Module 2)
A watercolor technique hiding inside this acrylic course — and why it's perfect for preserving highlights. (Module 4)
The two-light-source trick that makes the lion's face look dramatically more three-dimensional. (Module 5)
Why putting less paint on your palette makes painting with acrylics easier. (Module 1)
The “ugly middle” of the painting that can make you think you've ruined it… right before the neon effect starts appearing. (Module 4)
How to create the illusion of fur without painting hairs. (Module 3)
Select these 8 colors and your friends will think you mastered color theory (even though you skipped it entirely). (Module 1)
The acrylic “undo button” Dan uses when a dark color lands somewhere it absolutely shouldn't. (Module 4)
Why the outermost edges of the painting may be the secret to making the colors in the center explode. (Module 4)
How to create realistic-looking eyes without being good at painting eyes. (Module 5)
A layering approach that cures perfectionism. (Module 3)
The step where the painting goes from “colorful lion” to “wait… why does that actually look like it's glowing?” (Module 4)
The Glowing Neon Lion Class Is Nothing Like The Old Way Of Painting
What It Would Cost You Anywhere Else…
A single 2-hour “paint and sip” class costs $40–70. You come home with one rushed canvas and no way to recreate it.
Private painting lessons run $60–100 per hour. Two and a half hours of one-on-one instruction like this would be $150 at the low end.
And original paintings like this one sell for $150–400+ on Etsy — for a single piece that somebody else made.
This course gives you something none of those do: a repeatable skill. Once you understand how this palette layers, how contrast creates glow, and where the highlights go, you can paint this lion again as a gift, in a completely different color scheme, or move on to an entirely new animal.
I originally planned to charge $97 for it. Honestly, that's still a bargain next to one afternoon of private lessons or a drawer full of paint tubes you don't know how to use.
But I remember how it feels to finish your first real painting.
And I don't want the price to be the reason you never get to feel that.
So I decided to release it at the lowest price I can justify:
Full course price: $97
Today you can join for $47.
Any lower and I can't cover the cost of the advertising that puts this page in front of you.
This is an introductory price while I test this page. If I find I can't cover my costs, I'll have to put it back to $97 — or take the page down altogether.
This Is an Introductory Price — and It Won't Last Forever
I'm holding it at $47 while I test this page, but it could go back to $97 at any time. If you're reading this and it still says $47, it's still available. I just can't promise for how long.
You'll Love This Class… You'll Love What You Create… Or I'll Pay You Every Cent Back!

Module By Module Breakdown
Five modules, just under an hour and three quarters of instruction, in the exact order Dan painted the original. Every screenshot below is a real frame from inside the class.
Module 1: Palette, Color & The Neon Effect
Before you touch the canvas, you'll set up the only eight colors this painting needs — in the one arrangement that stops neon turning into mud.
The exact 8 tubes to buy, and the warm-side / cool-side layout Dan uses on every piece
How the “neon” effect is actually created — it has nothing to do with fluorescent paint
Which two colors must never sit next to each other on your palette
Why squeezing out less paint makes acrylics easier to work with and saves you money
The cheap plastic plate that solves the color-contamination problem for good
Module 2: Sketching the Lion
A loose outline that takes minutes — or skip the drawing entirely and trace the template that comes free with the course.
The “two-circle” shortcut for building a lion's head without freehanding the whole animal at once
The imaginary-grid trick that centers the head on your canvas every single time
Which pencil grades leave guidelines you can actually erase — and which ones you'll be fighting all the way to the end
Why the sketch does not need to be beautiful. It only has to answer one question.
The one sketching mistake that gets much harder to fix once acrylic goes down over the top of it
Module 3: Building the Mane & First Layer
The stage that looks nothing like the finished painting — and is the exact reason the finished painting glows.
Why Dan starts a lion in violet rather than in any obvious “lion color”
The strange reason he leaves whole sections of the canvas completely bare at this stage
The acrylic transparency problem most beginners only discover once it's too late to undo
The exact color sequence that makes a complicated-looking mane surprisingly manageable — and works on any painting, not just this one
How to create the illusion of fur without painting individual hairs
The brush-size decision that separates a loose, flowing mane from a tedious nightmare
Module 4: Magenta, Orange, Yellow & Making It Glow
The longest module in the class, and the one where a colorful lion suddenly starts to look like it's lit from the inside.
The “magenta bridge” that carries purple into orange without leaving your lion looking like a patchwork quilt
Why pure yellow ruins more paintings than it saves, and the one thing to mix into it
The “extreme contrast” move responsible for most of the neon effect
The diluted-purple wash, borrowed straight from watercolor, that darkens an area without destroying the highlight underneath
Why darkening the outer edges of the canvas makes the colors in the center explode
The acrylic “undo button” for when a dark color lands somewhere it absolutely shouldn't
Dan's three-stage saturation method: watery first coat, richer second, raw pigment last
Module 5: Eyes, Lighting & The Final “Pop”
Two light sources, one tiny brush, and the handful of final moves that take this from “nice” to “I can't stop looking at it.”
The two-light-source setup — a cool white rim light from one side, a warm yellow light from above — that sculpts the face into three dimensions
The exact three-color sequence for an eye that looks alive instead of painted on
Why you should never put the pupil in the middle of the eye
The two microscopic dots of white that change your lion's entire expression
Why darkening the center of the face makes the outer highlights look brighter
The final contrast check Dan runs over the whole canvas before he signs it
How to know when the painting is finished — and when one more tweak will make it worse
Taught By Pro Artist Dan Nav
Dan has been making art since he was a kid, and for the last five years it's been how he earns his living. He paints mostly in oils — which is exactly why his acrylic work layers the way it does.
Ask him what separates people who paint from people who “can't”, and he won't say talent. He'll say nobody ever handed them a process simple enough to follow.
That's what this class is.
Start Module 1 In The Next Five Minutes
Access is instant. Tap below, and the first video is open on your screen before your coffee goes cold.
Which pencils to use for your lion sketch, and which ones ruin your painting altogether. (Module 2)
Why Dan begins the lion with violet (and not with the obvious “lion colors”). (Module 3)
Leave this part of the canvas white… and you'll get a perfect finish with a fraction of the effort. (Module 3)
This brush-size decision is the difference between a loose flowing mane and a tedious nightmare. (Module 3)
Using a detail brush to paint detail? It's intuitive, but it's WRONG. Here's why Dan reaches for a medium brush instead. (Module 4)
How to smooth out “ugly” blends later (and stop worrying about imperfections now). (Module 4)
Colors looking flat? Don't worry — this step will make them pop. (Hint: you don't add more brightness.) (Module 4)
The brush-cleaning rule Dan follows when moving from cool colors into warm colors — and why ignoring it turns neon into sludge. (Module 4)
The simple paper-towel habit that keeps oranges and yellows glowing instead of gray and muddy. (Module 4)
Dan's three-stage saturation method for gradually turning a thin first coat into a rich, finished piece. (Module 4)
Use this oil-painting technique with acrylic paint, and watch your canvas gradually swell with saturated color. (Module 4)
Why Dan intentionally leaves the iris untouched while painting around the eyes. (Module 4)
The easy way to pull attention onto your lion's face (it just requires a little black). (Module 4)
How to tone down exposed white canvas while still preserving the illusion of light underneath. (Module 4)
The light-blue-and-white highlight mixture that makes a dark nose look even darker by contrast. (Module 4)
Why adding light paint around a dark feature gives you more impact than simply making the feature blacker. (Module 4)
The tiny brush Dan switches to when it's finally time to bring the lion's eyes to life. (Module 5)
The pupil-placement detail that makes the difference between an eye that feels alive and one that simply looks painted on. (Module 5)
The “extreme highlight” stage where Dan stops being cautious — and starts making the painting truly pop. (Module 5)
The final contrast check Dan uses to decide whether an area needs more black, more light blue or more yellow-white. (Module 5)
How to know when your painting is actually finished (and when more tweaks will make it worse). (Module 5)
Why your first lion sketch does not need to be beautiful — it only needs to answer one important question before you begin painting. (Module 2)
This acrylic paint mistake wastes tens of dollars of paint (and how to avoid it). (Module 1)
The reference-image habit that prevents you from accidentally filling in an area you'll desperately wish you'd kept white later. (Module 3)
And You're Getting These Bonuses At No Extra Charge!
Bonus #1🔒 Revealed inside
Bonus #1: 4 Extra Color Palettes
One Class. Five Different Paintings.
Paint him again in hot pink and turquoise. Or lime and magenta. Or deep jewel tones. Four alternative color schemes, each worked out in advance so the glow still lands — so one class becomes four more paintings for your wall, or four gifts nobody else could have given.
Bonus #2🔒 Revealed inside
Bonus #2: The Lion Outline & Transfer Template
Your Composition, Done For You
Print it. Tape it over your canvas. Trace it. Two minutes later the lion is sitting on your canvas in perfect proportion, and the part most people quit over is already behind you.
This is what makes the class work for anyone who'd swear they can't draw. You don't have to.
Bonus #3🔒 Revealed inside
Bonus #3: Flower Fun — The Complete Bonus Module
44 Extra Minutes. Completely Optional. Yours Either Way.
A pink bloom tucked behind one ear. A golden rose at the base of the mane. If you want your lion a little softer, a little prettier, a little more yours — this full-length sixth video shows you exactly how.
Plus the whisker shortcut Dan admits is far easier than trying to paint them.

I've never painted before. Can I really do this?
Yes. This class assumes zero experience. Dan calls out every color as he mixes it and every brush as he picks it up, and the printable template means the drawing is handled for you. Every layer is demonstrated in order, start to finish.
I can't draw. Is that a problem?
No. Module 2 shows you Dan's sketching method if you want to try it — but Bonus #2 gives you the complete lion outline as a printable template you simply trace onto your canvas. Plenty of students never draw a line freehand.
How long will this take me?
Most students spread it over a weekend. Think a few hours on Saturday for the palette, the sketch and the first violet layer, then a few more on Sunday for the glow colors, the depth pass and the eyes — with drying breaks built in. Dan painted the original in just over an hour; if it takes you three, that's completely normal.
What supplies do I need?
Eight tubes of acrylic paint — violet, ultramarine blue, light blue, magenta, orange, yellow, black and white — plus three brushes (large, medium and a fine detail brush), a canvas, a jar of water, a paper towel, and any plain plate to use as a palette. A pencil for the sketch, and optionally a fine acrylic paint marker for the whiskers. Module 1 walks through the exact list. It's all affordable and available at any craft store or online.
What if I make mistakes along the way?
Mistakes are normal, and this style is very forgiving. Acrylic dries fast, so you can layer straight back over a wobbly edge in minutes. Dan even makes a mistake on camera in module 4 and shows you exactly how he covers it — which is honestly one of the more useful parts of the class.
When will I receive the teaching material?
Right away. After purchase you'll receive an email with instant access instructions.
How long will I have access?
Forever. One payment, no subscriptions, no hidden fees.
What if I'm not happy with my purchase?
Email support within 365 days and we'll refund your full purchase within 24 hours, no questions asked.

There's Really Only One Question Left…
A few days from now, you could be standing in front of a canvas like this:
A glowing violet-and-magenta mane.
Warm orange and yellow light spilling across the face.
Two bright eyes staring straight back at you.
And that strange little moment where you think…
“Hang on. I actually painted that.”
Not Dan.
Not somebody on YouTube.
You.
And maybe you'll take a photo.
Maybe you'll hang it somewhere people can see it.
Maybe somebody will ask where you bought it…
And you'll get to say:
“I didn't buy it. I painted it.”
That is what this class is really about.
Not memorizing color theory.
Not spending six months practicing circles, shading exercises and boring little studies.
Not becoming a “proper artist” before you're allowed to make something beautiful.
It's about getting paint onto a canvas…
Following a process that has already been worked out for you…
And ending up with something you're genuinely proud to have made.
So You Have Two Choices.
You can close this page.
Nothing terrible will happen.
You'll keep your $47.
And maybe next weekend you'll think about painting again.
Maybe you'll watch another tutorial.
Save another picture.
Buy another set of supplies.
Tell yourself you'll give it a proper go when you have more time…
…or when you're better at drawing…
…or when you understand color…
…or when you finally feel “ready.”
And six months from now, that blank canvas may still be blank.
Or…
You can decide that you don't need to become an artist before you paint something beautiful.
You can let Dan handle the difficult decisions.
The proportions.
The palette.
The color order.
The lighting.
The layering.
The contrast.
Even the outline, if you want it.
You simply:
Trace it.
Layer it.
Refine it.
And see what happens.
Because Here's The Part I Really Don't Want You To Miss:
You do not need to know whether you're capable of painting this before you join.
That's backwards.
Painting it is how you find out.
Maybe you've spent years saying:
“I can't draw.”
“I'm not artistic.”
“I'd never be able to paint something like that.”
Fine.
You don't have to stop believing any of those things today.
You don't even have to feel confident.
Just borrow Dan's process for one weekend.
Trace the outline.
Put down the first violet layer.
Add the blue.
Bridge into magenta.
Bring in the orange and yellow.
Push the darks.
Add the highlights.
Paint the eyes.
Then step back.
Let the canvas settle the argument.
And I'm Making That Experiment Almost Ridiculously Safe.
The complete Glowing Neon Lion Class is normally $97.
While this introductory offer is still available, it's $47 USD.
One payment.
No subscription.
No recurring fee.
You get:
The complete 5-module Glowing Neon Lion Class
1 hour and 44 minutes of core step-by-step instruction
The printable Lion Outline & Transfer Template in six canvas sizes
4 additional color palettes
The complete 44-minute Flower Fun bonus module
Access to the private student community
Lifetime access to everything
And a 365-day money-back guarantee
Not seven days.
Not fourteen.
Not thirty.
A full year.
So you don't need to stare at this page wondering:
“But what if I buy it and realize it's not for me?”
Find out.
Join.
Open Module 1.
Watch Dan paint.
Buy your eight colors.
Trace the lion.
Start laying down paint.
Finish the whole thing if you want.
Paint it twice.
And if you don't love the class, don't enjoy the process, or simply decide it wasn't worth your $47…
Email us within 365 days.
We'll refund you.
No interrogation.
No hoops.
No arguing.
Which Means You're Not Really Being Asked To Bet $47 On Yourself.
I'm betting on you.
You get the class.
You get the bonuses.
You get the template.
You get lifetime access.
You get an entire year to decide whether I earned your money.
And if I didn't…
You get the money back.
The Only Thing I Can't Give You Back Is Another Weekend You Spent Thinking About Painting Instead Of Painting.
P.S. If the only thing holding you back is whether you're “good enough,” use the tracing template. Seriously. Take drawing ability completely out of the equation. Transfer the outline, follow Dan's color sequence, and judge yourself after you've painted the lion — not before.
P.P.S. The $47 price is the introductory price while this page is being tested. The planned full price is $97. If the page still shows $47 when you click through, you can lock that price in now — and your access is yours for life.
