Description

I am a self taught painter so some of my methods may be a little different from what you are used to but, I have a passion for art and a passion for teaching and sharing. I’m convinced you will get great value out of this course even if it’s picking up a tip or trick here and there to add to your artistic toolbelt . I want to help you create your very own Fantasy Garden using some of my unconventional techniques

* Please Note! If you like a lot of talking this course may not be for you. When I create art I get in a trance like state and talking interrupts my flow. I do some voice over introductions and descriptions here and there but this course is heavy on visual content. I do a lot of pop ups on the screen that are full of helpful information and descriptions and I supply you with written resources as well. I have proudly taught 1,000’s all over the world and I hope to share my techniques with you

Who this course is for:

Anyone who who wants to learn one of the methods I make art
