FAQ
-
I work with acrylics, not oils. Can I still learn from you?
Of course! The same principles of drawing, value, color, composition, and edges all apply regardless of your medium. While my technical instruction is all about oil painting, there are still a lot of things you can learn from these videos, even if you only use acrylics or water soluble oils.
-
Do I need to purchase all the materials you recommend?
My materials are just that - recommendations. If you have brushes or paints that you prefer, then use them! My own palette of colors is tried and true, and I'll show you how to mix them, but I often diverge from it even in my videos. Painting is play, and it's okay to use lots of different brands, materials, and techniques!
-
Can I just buy one of your courses separately and skip the subscription??
You can purchase each course separately, but the benefit of a subscription is that you get access to EVERYTHING! A one month membership is still a better value than buying a video individually.
-
Can I download the videos to my computer?
My videos are not available for download. As long as you have internet access, you can watch them on this course site, and they'll be available for the duration of your membership.
