But this acrylic painting course IS NOT ABOUT making a copy of my painting.

It’s a great example of various techniques you’ll need to master over your creative journey.

But this video training course IS NOT ABOUT dry technical instruction, either.

This course IS ABOUT the process of painting, from IMAGINATION to CREATION - the inspiration you need to develop your own ideas, and the mindset/skills you need to tell your stories in paint.

Express your creative soul!

Anyone can do this. You’ll be amazed how well you can bring your ideas to life with the techniques I use in my work and the painting know-how I’ll share with you through 10 VIDEO LESSONS.

Then, a SPECIAL BONUS: a time-lapse complete second video lesson (4 parts) where you’ll learn to apply what you learned in the main course to create a completely new, different image – one straight from your own imagination – to build confidence in your skills and talent.

Ready?

I want you to enjoy the learning process as much as you do creating my art! Becoming an artist does take dedication, practice, and time. But you can start enjoying the process of creating beautiful paintings right away – and, if you put your mind to it, you'll reach the stars! 

You have wonderful paintings inside you just waiting to get out. Let's bring them to life - together!
