Now is the time to unlock your creative potential.  Creating beautiful realistic paintings is a skill and way of thinking you can achieve faster than you think.

FAQs

What level of experience do I need to do this course?

None.  You can do this course with no experience or with quite a lot of experience and still learn a lot and have fun creating these beautiful paintings.

Who should join?

Anyone ready to have a go, young or old.  With step by step instructions including videos and a supportive online group participants will learn to paint with confidence and to see nature around them differently.

What if I have to miss a session?

You will get an email each fortnight to release the next session with lifetime access.
I plan to run the course again next year so you can join in again for free with the online group if you wish (dates to be advised).

What is the timing of the course?

The Course starts in September/October 2020 and effectively has 7 modules.  You get the Orientation module on sign up which gives everything you need to  get set up with materials, your creative space and how to’s. Module 1 is out on  Oct 9 and then 6 modules that cover a painting start to finish in each module.  
I don’t want you to feel under pressure to get a painting finished every week so I plan to send out the modules fortnightly.  You can cover the modules at your own pace.  In this way I hope the user group is at a roughly similar pace and can work together.  So the period open for the user group and access to the modules is from October 2020 to January 2021.

What does the course include?

The course uses video and written material to support you to create beautiful paintings.  There are over 56 videos, including time-lapse (over 70 hours of video condensed to 6.43 hours). 
We will have an online user group to share your work and see how others interpret the same lessons. We start with an orientation module as soon as you sign up and then the 6 modules each covering the creation of a realist painting of Australian Flora end to end.

The techniques you will learn can be used to paint portraits or landscape, still life, but we start with nature, to help us learn about colour and form.

Orientation
Covers materials and getting ready with exercises in blending creating colour palettes and more.

Modules 1 - 6 each cover 1 painting with Instruction videos for each part of the process as well as time-lapse videos of the creation of the painting.  

The paintings we create are chosen to cover different aspects of painting eg. creating impact, painting folds, creating depth, blending, colour intensity, shadows, smooth lines etc

We cover everything you’ll need to create a painting and then we do it 6 times creating 6 paintings to make sure you’ve got it!

How can I pay?

You can pay here using your credit card or Paypal.  If you would prefer something else let me know.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. The program starts with the orientation module and  you can get a refund before module 1 starts.
