How many videos are in the class?

When does the class start/when will I get access?

You get access as soon as you complete your purchase. Check your email to gain access...and be sure to check that spam/junk folder. ;)

Can you critique my artwork?

My current online classes are all self-paced and don't come with individual critiques.

How long are the videos?

Each recorded live demo+Q&A session is between 90-120 minutes in length.

I live in England (insert your country here)...will I still be able to work with you?

Yes of course! You don't have to live in the United States to take this class since it's online and you can watch/download the session recordings.

Is there a supply list?

I send out a supply list to all students when they join a class, but if you already paint with acrylic paints and some mixed media you probably already have much of what is needed for this course. To see my some of my favorite/most used supplies and tools, sign up for the waitlist to receive information on some of my favorite art supplies and tools. If you need to get a sense of what you'll need before you buy the class, check out the suggested supply list here: https://learn.pauletteinsall.art/PAAC-Supply-List

Do I need the exact same paints and/or tools that you are using?

You don't have to use exactly the same things I'm using, but do keep in mind that if you are using cheap craft or student grade paints and brushes, you will not achieve similar results. I recommend you use the highest quality supplies that you can afford...my favorite brands of acrylic paint are Golden, Matisse, M. Graham, and Sennelier because of their high pigment content, but I also use other brands sometimes, like Liquitex and Nova. Cheap paints and tools will only cause you to be frustrated as they don't perform as well as good quality ones. You can find my suggested tools & supplies list here: https://learn.pauletteinsall.art/PAAC-Supply-List

Who is this class for? Who is it not for?

This workshop is for all levels, from beginners to experienced painters.  My teaching style provides plenty of direction because I explain everything as I go along….which will help a new painter and at the same time time, share all kinds of secrets that a more experienced painter will find beneficial.

I'm not computer/tech savvy. Will I be able to take this class?

There will be some computer/internet skills required to be able to access the class session and the recording, but I feel they are pretty standard and if you're able to create an account on a website, log in, know how to watch content from the web, then you'll have the skills needed.

Is there a Facebook group included?

There isn't a Facebook group with the self study version of the class. If you enroll during a new launch when there is live support from me, then there will be a peer support Facebook group included.

Do you teach any art marketing in this course?

No, but I do have some upcoming programs helping artists with marketing their work later this year. Go here to get on the waitlist >> find out more here.

How long do I have access to the course site?

You will have access as long as the course exists and hasn't been retired...but I advise you not to wait too long to watch the videos and put what you've learned into practice. 

Can I download the videos?

Yes, you will be able to download the videos and any other files in the course to your computer for offline viewing. If you plan to download anything, be sure to remember what was stated above about course site access. Please also keep in mind that these are for your personal use only. Please do not copy or share them with anyone.

Is this class a one time payment or a monthly subscription?

The "Pay In Full" option is a one time payment. The multi payment option is  monthly, with the first payment due when you enroll then two additional monthly payments.
