Can I really learn to paint online?

Yes! With my unique courses I’ve taught thousands of people to paint and draw over the last few years. You too can learn to paint in the comfort of your own home, at your own pace, and a time that suits you.

Lessons are sent to you on a regular basis, a bit like receiving a magazine, and each one builds on the knowledge you have gained in previous lesson. So you learn step-by-step and grow in confidence and ability along the way.

Because of the wonders of the internet, you can download and print off your own lessons, and also watch videos of me painting the exercises and projects. There is also a useful audio introduction to each lesson to put you in the mood and give you a few extra tips. It’s just like having your own personal tutor!

So, if you have ever wanted to have a go at painting, or perhaps you paint already and are looking for some extra tuition, then don’t delay - sign up for a course and start painting today!

And if you’re still not sure, then read the genuine testimonials below, or visit the forum and ask others who are on the courses.

Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.

 I just want to thank you for your excellent Art Courses. I have now received the last one of the three Courses I have followed. I have found I have improved my painting since following your instruction. I will continue to practice, using your helpful guide lines. I would also like to mention the first class, friendly service you give, including prompt replies to my emails. Much appreciated, money well spent. Thank you again, Val Cole

I want to thank you for such wonderful lessons. They are really fantastic, practical, and so easy to follow. It's the best! Thank you for putting all this color and art into my life!  Sandra Dolores, USA

These courses are the best value for money I have seen.   I have really enjoyed doing them all. Janet Leveson

 I must take this chance to say how delighted I am with the course - you are an excellent teacher. Many thanks for hours of pleasure. Pat Wiltshire, UK

“I am so enjoying the course and am very pleased with my progress. I can work at my own pace and on my own schedule with your lessons. Learn to do watercolour painting is a dream come true for me. Thank you so much.”  Lucy Boucher, Australia

I am just writing in to tell you how much I am enjoying the course!! I have been handling watercolors since I was in school and had even attended an year of art school, but what I have learned in just the first three issues has been incredible!!! I suddenly realized that my approach to handling watercolors was so wrong. I have been practicing all your exercises (havn't been able to put my brush down for the past 4 hrs) and am already feeling more confident. Your course beats any book on watercolor hands down. Thank you so very much!!! Sophia Philips

 I wanted to mention how great the idea and plans were for the watercolour board. I had looked all over the internet for something to keep from having to tape down my paper, and could not afford any of what I found. I kept thinking there had to be a way to make one, and you saved me the trouble of figuring it out with what looks like the perfect plan. And the best part is being able to make it any size I want, so a bigger one for the studio and smaller ones to travel with. You are a genius! Thanks for everything, Lee Hernandez

The lessons are well presented and the video demo and verbal explanation is excellent Neville Power

“I just wish I had a course like this available to me years ago when I embarked upon the first of many abortive missions to teach myself, all of which ended in frustration. The pace of learning and the gradual building of skills is just perfect, without becoming overwhelming, even for me - a busy person with my own business. Keep up the great work and thanks for helping to unravel the mysteries of techniques which now seem quite straightforward after your explanations and illustrations. James Whitehead UK

 “I have really enjoyed my art lessons. What you offer is outstanding. I like being able to go at my own pace. Thanks.
  Sally, California, USA

 "Andy, I so enjoy your lessons. I have learned more from you in just a few months than I have learned from several years of classroom instruction."
Sue Baker, UK

I think the watercolor course is brilliant. It's much better than buying a book as the weekly installments keep my interest going. Barbara Cooper

I'd just like to say how much I've been enjoying your learning to draw course. I've been taking it at my own pace as I'm very much a beginner - liked drawing but no idea of how to go about learning properly. Your course is so clear; the audio, video and excellent notes. And so reasonable - I know that local classes can cost hundreds! I'm retired and enjoy walking a lot and I find an added bonus in that the course has made me look at my surroundings with a fresh 'eye'. Thanks again, Derek Thorp

 Many many thanks for designing and sending me the watercolour course. It is really great, with no head-scratching impasses from incompleteness or obscurity. I'm enjoying it a lot and it's making sure that I learn or have learnt the basic skills of watercolour painting.  You are an excellent teacher, as can be seen from your organization of the material and your clarity of style when presenting new material. Thank you! Tony Macelli, USA

 I've now completed my watercolour course with you and it has been absolutely fantastic. Your course has offered everything to me, a complete beginner. The detailed notes were easy to follow and the video clips showing techniques etc were very informative and just what I needed. I've loved the whole course and never thought I'd be able to produce some of the projects you set. My family and friends are very encouraging with what I've done which makes me just want to paint all the more.  So thank you very much for giving me a good ground base to go on and enjoy my painting. Janice Gardner, U

My friend and I had been looking for an art course to do here on the Isle of Wight to no avail, when we found yours on the internet. We would like to say that we are delighted with it and pleased with the thoroughness of the subject matter. I realise already that even having studied art to A level there are considerable gaps in my knowledge about some of the most basic details. We meet once a week to paint and your course is providing with a much needed focus. Caroline Baty

I would like to say how much I am enjoying both the Watercolour Course and Acrylics Course. I do feel I am slowly but surely learning a great deal. Two of my friends are also signed up with you, and we meet every Wednesday to follow your lessons and paint together. Valerie Cole

I have loved your courses! I took your acrylic one, then I signed up for your watercolor class. I also e-mailed you with a few questions, and you always got back to me. Your watercolor class is amazing and I love your top tips section. Christine Bellestri

I just wanted to say how much I am enjoying the watercolour course. I can't believe how much I have already learnt. As a former teacher I am highly impressed with your course content, the presentation, the way you teach the different skills and techniques, the sensible balance of learning in each lesson, the progression of ideas and the way you build on skills learnt. The practical work is varied and interesting and achievable. The audio and video helps are a tremendous idea. They personalise the learning process and add motivation. I always maintained that I could never work in watercolour but you have proved me wrong. I am now on lesson 21 and have a little gallery of work around me that is giving me the encouragement to continue something each day.  Dot Westley, France

I am thrilled with your drawing course. I appreciate the details, the two parts of the course.....creative and technical. I know the importance of learning the basic fundamentals as well as possible and your course is covering these things beautifully. Thank you again for your wonderful courses! I am learning so many things.  MaryAnn Evangelista

The Fast and Loose course is simply wonderful. It is fun to explore the work of these artists and try to see through their eyes. Thanks for providing such a great learning tool! Sue M

 I so appreciate the care that you have taken to craft these lessons. They are wonderful at many different levels -- they are informative, creative and clever. A fan." Swati Mukerjee USA

 I have to write and say how much I'm enjoying the watercolour course. I've always wanted to paint and this course is helping and encouraging me so much, its great fun. J. Gardner UK "I have to tell you that I think I can throw away all of my useless watercolor books. Your lessons are terrific and the videos really make it -- so important to see someone do it instead of just having to read it and then try and figure it out.  And from a designer standpoint, I must tell you that the manner in which you assembled the printed pages is really wonderful -- so clear and a great format. I would not hesitate to recommend this to someone else. Wish you were in the States, would love to take a class from you in person, but this is surely the next best thing."  Donna McMenamin USA

Your course has awakened my interest in art again. Betty Shenton

I am really enjoying the courses and I have to say you do make things a lot easier than I imagined they would be with your clear and simple techniques. Thank you, Karen Cordall

I can't begin to tell you how much I'm enjoying both your watercolour and drawing courses. I tend to dip in and do a bit here and there in my spare time maybe not the best way a student should work but it seems to work for me. Thank you. Lynda Hutchins
