How does it work?
This is a recorded online class.
• You will be able to view the course anytime under the “Class Login” tab at the top of this site.
• All video lessons and a workbook are included. Paint along with me one simple stroke at a time.
• Your class access information will be immediately available on the order confirmation page.
How long is the class?
It's 90 minutes to watch the class online, plus an additional 2-3 hours to do the painting lessons yourself. It's recorded in small bite-sized lessons. You'll get immediate access, and you can take the class at your own pace.
I'm new to painting. Is this class right for me?
Yes! This class is designed to start at the very beginning and build from there.
I've been painting for a long time. Is this class right for me?
Although this course covers the fundamentals, it doesn't stop there. I share tips that will enhance your color mixing, sense of realism, and expressive techniques. So you'll still benefit from this course if you're painting at an intermediate level. This is not a class for advanced painters.
Why acrylics?
Acrylic is easy to set up & clean up with water. It's also easier to cover mistakes and to develop control with acrylics than with watercolor - so it's perfect for beginners.
What ages is this good for?
It's designed for ages teens-adults to complete independently. It's also great for ages 8-12 (they'll just need an adult on standby to help).
Can I give this class as a gift?
YES! After checkout you'll enter a password for immediate class access. You'll want to send your class login info to the gift recipient.
