#36 - Wise Eyes Online Paint Along

I've wanted to paint an owl for AGES but so many of them look distinctly odd - some are pretty scary. But the eyes of this owl are just beautiful. Join me to paint this lovely specimen, and bring the gift of wisdom into your home (or give it to someone!).

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’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 caravan of your own!
