Oil, watercolor, acrylic, mixed media & photography - all painting mediums and styles will benefit.

Learn how to fix the most common painting issues to make your paintings more attraction-getting and know how to proceed on a painting when you feel stuck. You will learn how to add focal points to bring attention to desired areas, and increase the time someone enjoys viewing your painting.

To make a great painting it takes more than just paint. Learn to fine tune and transform images into their full viewing potential — and you have mastery.  Get the results you want with more ease and speed.

Instructor's note for intermediate and advanced painters - consider up-leveling your expertise by taking Nancy's master course The Art of Painting Beyond Technique, instead for more in depth study on painting concepts. This professional course includes many more videos, information and complexity made especially for artists that want to improve fast and/or go professional by selling your work. Shrink that learning curve and master painting in record time! This course beats years of art school training.
