• Is the course suitable for beginners or only for experienced artists?

  No experience is necessary, we do provide simple line drawings of the reference photos for assignments that can be printed and transferred to canvas using carbon transfer paper.

  Do I have to use your reference photos for assignments?

  No, you can choose to use your own reference photos that are similar to the ones provided in the course. For example feel free to paint a still life of vegetables if I demonstrate a still life with fruit. If you are getting feedback you will have to share the reference photo you used when you submit your assignment. 

  How long does the course take to complete?

  8 weeks. Each lesson is around an hour long, the amount of time you dedicate to assignments is a personal choice.

  Will I receive feedback on my paintings?

  If you purchase a feedback seat you will receive weekly feedback on your assignments, if you are an auditing student you will not - you are still encouraged to post your work and questions in the group and to attend the live feedback!

  Can I interact with the instructor and other students during the course?

  Yes, you will be invited to join a private discord classroom server for the oil painting course where you can ask questions, share your work and get to know your fellow peers! It’s a great place to make new friends. During the weekly live feedback all students can join the chat and ask questions.

  Will the course cover both traditional and modern oil painting techniques?

  Yes! 

  Can I access the course materials even after the course has ended?

  The material is yours, keep it and go over it whenever you want! 

  Will the lessons have Closed Captions?

  Yes!

  Will I learn how to paint specific subjects, such as landscapes or portraits?

  We are focusing on technique more than subject, and will go over several types of paintings such as landscapes, portraits, and still lifes.

  How often will new lessons be released?

  A new lesson will be released every Sunday!

  When will the Feedback be?

  Tuesdays at 2pm central standard time, we will give a reminder an hour before each feedback video goes live. In the case of technical difficulties, a video of the feedback will be posted the following day.

  What if I can’t make it to the live feedback?

  Ask your questions in the group, and the videos will be recorded and posted to watch when you are free.

  What is the format of the course, and how will I access the lessons?

  Lessons are released every Sunday, feedback students have until the following Sunday to submit their work, and the following Wednesday we have feedback sessions. You will access the lessons through your Kajabi Library, and find the feedback links in the discord group.

  Will I need to purchase additional materials beyond what is included in the course?

  You can find a list of recommended materials above this list. You are not required to have the same products, but it gives an idea of the type of supplies you will need. 

   

  Can I receive a certificate or proof of completion after finishing the course?

  Students who complete the course will be emailed a certificate of completion. 

  What if I can’t finish my assignments in time, or I can’t complete the course?

  If you are a feedback student and do not turn in your assignments by the day they are due we will try to get you feedback in some way, but can not guarantee it. 

  Tell me more about the guarantee? You have 30 days to request a full refund by email, no questions asked!

  Are there any restrictions on who can take the course, such as age or location?

  There is no restriction on viewing the course content, but students must be over age 13 to join the Discord group. We do want parents to be aware that in the discord group will be a library of oil paintings from the masters which may depict artistic nudity, violence, and other adult subject matter.
