This practical 24 part acrylics course is
sent to you every week by E-mail. 

In each issue you will find:

• an audio introduction
• a painting project with several pages of step-by-step instructions
• video clips to show how it is done

The course covers all you need to know about acrylic painting and covers such topics as :

• understanding and using colour
• how to paint without drawing
• learning various essential painting techniques
• mastering different painting styles
• using acrylics like oils
• using acrylics like watercolours

Each week there is a project to paint and each one helps you learn a different style or technique.
The printed pages of step-by-step instructions are all numbered and can be filed in a ring binder for future reference, so you will build up a complete manual of acrylic painting.

When you sign up for the course you will begin to receive emails on a regular basis, a bit like getting a magazine. Each email links to a lesson, where you will find

• an audio introduction to the lesson
• pages of clear instructions to print off and keep
• video clips to show you exactly how it’s done

Just listen to the audio, print off the pages, watch the video and follow along. Each lesson builds on the one before, so you grow in confidence as you go along, and you will soon be amazed at how fast you are learning.
The important thing is to actually do the projects. The courses are very practical and you will learn by doing.

Keeping Motivated
Because the course comes to you in regular instalments, you will find yourself wanting to paint along with each lesson and the excitement of learning will be kept up. I can guarantee you will learn to paint with these regular lessons! And if you get stuck, you can even email me at any time with problems or questions.

Take your Time
Finally, you can take the courses at your own pace. You don’t have to keep up, or you can choose to go faster! To take the course at a slower pace just save the links and download the lessons whenever you like , or if you want to go quicker, then email me and I’ll send you the complete list of links so you can access the course at your own speed. Each weekly lesson takes about 2 hours to complete.

May I say a BIG THANK YOU for a delightful, instructive and most enjoyable course. I had not painted for over 25 years and only recently took up the brushes again. Your course not only helped me enormously but has motivated me again. The combination of audio, video & written guides is particularly helpful. It's a great course. Thanks again, Michael Todd

I just have to tell you how excited I am .I've learned a wealth of information from lesson 2. It has made all the difference in me "seeing" what I want to paint. It has been one of those "Eureka" moments, and I can't thank you enough. I am so looking forward to the rest of the course!
Thank you, thank you!  Diane Howard
