Perfect Balance of Detail and Looseness: we will learn to create modern and minimalist mountainscapes utilizing value scales. We also learn about creating a sense of depth and atmosphere through various brushstroke techniques.

Focus on Fun and Creativity: This course isn’t just about learning techniques—it’s about enjoying the process. You’ll be encouraged to embrace imperfections, experiment with colour, and let your unique style shine through.

Engaging and Accessible: This class is designed for beginner painters, hobbyists, or anyone looking to increase their “brush mileage” with foundational skills in acrylic painting.

Do I need prior painting experience?

Not at all! I will walk you through everything you need, step by step. Prior experience will however, aid you in moving through the course modules more quickly. 

Are the lessons LIVE or recorded?

The lessons are all pre-recorded so they are available to you at any time, on your own time. You can stop the videos, paint a bit, rewind and replay. That way you can learn at your own pace. 

My paint dries too fast, I can’t keep up. Help!

This is one of the primary challenges for all artists that work with acrylic paint. You’re not alone! Whether your challenge is needing time to mix the right color or the time it takes to blend your paint on the canvas, the more you practice the faster you get. In the meantime, I cannot stress enough the importance of investing in a Masterson’s Sta-wet palette. This keeps your paint moist, allowing you more time to paint.

Do I need an easel?

If you have an easel and prefer to use one please do, but because the canvas we’re working on is small, you can simply paint on a table with the canvas laid flat. That is how I will demo the lessons. 

My painting turned out darker than the reference image.

This is a common occurrence! Acrylic paint dries 30% darker after it dries. Try to be mindful of this while mixing your colors but be gentle on yourself, this skill will come in time with more practice.

Can I sell my painting after?

No, all art is protected by copyright laws and may not be copied for the purpose of resale. Your painting is for learning purposes and for you to keep and treasure.

How long does the course take to complete?

The course includes just over 2 hours of video lesson time. If you are an absolute beginner, the course will take you approximately 6 hours to complete. If you are an artist with some experience, it will take you approximately 4 hours to complete and 2-3 hours for practiced artists.

What brand of paint do you recommend?

My favorite brands are Golden and Kroma. (both heavy body acrylic) But you can use your favorite comparable brand. Just remember, the better the quality paint, the better results and the easier to work with. And if your brand doesn’t have the exact same colors, use the closest, knowing your result will vary.

Do I need to have a 12’x9” mounted canvas?

No, you can use a different size, slightly smaller or larger. I would only recommend a larger canvas if you are already a practiced artist though. Staying smaller will keep learning easier for beginners.You can also use a sheet of canvas, but fasten it to a sturdy surface with painters tape.

I don’t have the same brushes.

If you want to invest in the same brushes, great, if not, use something comparable. Two flat brights is what you’ll need. Note: every brand’s sizing is different. I recommend the Princeton Select Artiste Flat Shader, Series 3750, #6 and #10 but those numbers (6 & 10) may be a different size in a different brand.

Do I need my own reference photo?

I would recommend using the reference supplied if you are a beginner but if you have more experience, please use your own reference and use the lessons as a guide.
