Welcome to the blog of Real Art Is Better! We are Scott Clendaniel and Maria Benner living in Anchorage, Alaska. Scott is an oil painter, and Maria is the Business & Marketing Manager for the art business. Here we blog about Scott’s new oil paintings, the ins-and-outs of running an art business, our life in Alaska, and our adventures. You may have noticed that Scott paints a lot of beer paintings. He paints other things too, like Alaska’s epic scenery, but beer paintings seem to be his niche. After completing the 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall project in 2011, he didn’t want to stop painting beer paintings, so in 2014 he painted a different beer every day. The project was called the Year of Beer Paintings.
Scott accepts commissions. Feel free to contact us to order a custom oil painting at

Hi Maor! I would be glad to paint your beer! This will be the first beer I’ve painted from Israel!!! Would it be possible to send me a bottle? If not, that’s okay. Here’s more information about ordering a custom beer painting: https://www.etsy.com/listing/58689239
Hi, I just read your article about prepping wood panels. Are you still using the red and gold glaze? I love the idea of adding the gold glaze. Is this an oil based product?
Thanks Annie
Yes, I’m still using this technique. The gold paint is acrylic.
