#57 - Queen Barbara Online Paint Along

This Californian Gull on Stearns Wharf in Santa Barbara knows she looks goooooood. And that textured abstract background... well that's a winner too! In this Paint Along I first show you how to draw the gull, then how to paint her. I hope you love it!

Hi, I’m Anna

I've been teaching guided painting since late 2011.

I love teaching online because you can work at your own pace, and see every brush stroke!

Let me guide you step-by-step to make a beautiful artwork of your own.

What supplies will you need? It's simple!

Something to paint with and something to paint on

I demonstrate with:
- Artist Quality Fluid Acrylic Paints
- Budget priced Acrylic Brushes
- Budget priced Canvas Paper, and
- the cheapest Paper Palette.

If you use similar supplies, you'll get a similar result. Start with what you have or buy a kit from me. Easy.

What’s this all about?

With entertaining and quality step-by-step videos, a printable and recommended supplies list, this is an online Paint Along bursting with information and support. As always, I've included a fun (and unique) 'Pep Talk' to get you in the right frame of mind.

You will start with a blank canvas and finish with a painting that you'll impress yourself with!

HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

  • This is ‘painting with a safety net’ – I will be guiding you to paint a painting similar to mine, step by step.

  • My Paint Alongs are totally beginner friendly.

  • Experienced artists may enjoy the insight into my technique and style and can use the information as a ‘jumping off point’ or warm up.

  • There are lots of photos, videos and text so you’ll feel supported.

  • I talk about the supplies I'm using, and understand that you may be using different materials - in which case we're aiming for 'similar but different' anyway, so it's ok.

  • The Paint Along is held on a private website that only registered participants can access.

  • You will have UNLIMITED ACCESS once you register –  you can create and access at any time and work at your own pace. There is no pressure, just encouragement.

  • You do need basic computer skills (know how to login and work your way around the site).

  • A high speed internet connection would be a huge advantage due to the number of videos included.

  • Personal feedback from Anna is not available via this course, however you are invited to email photos of your work or post them to the Shiny Happy Art facebook page.

  • Due to the nature of the course, with password access, refunds are not possible unless there are exceptional circumstances. Thanks for understanding.

I look forward to welcoming you into my virtual studio to paint a beautiful painting of your own!
