The classes will be taught live over Zoom, so please familiarise yourself with both how to download and utilise it before the course starts to avoid teething problems.
For the first week, I will send out an email 20 minutes before the class is due to start and 10 minutes before in the weeks thereafter. This is to allow plenty of time for you to ring me, text me, or email me for help if you are having any technical issues.
MONDAY - DEMONSTRATION
The main class will take place on Monday Evening at 6:30pm – 8:30pm, where you have a two hour follow-along demonstration.
The weekly tasks will contain differentiated portrait options – Beginners, Intermediate & Advanced. This allows you to choose which variant suits your own personal experience with oil painting and portraits.
Armed with guided step-by-step visual resources, you will have all you need to complete the Weekly Task
WEDNESDAY – Q&A SEMINAR
A mid-week Q &A seminar will take place on Wednesday evenings, 7pm – 8pm. These seminars are an opportunity for you to check-in with the progress of your Weekly Task and give you the chance to: ask questions, receive further support, check in with your class mates and ask for any further demonstrations required to help you complete your artwork.
FRIDAY – TASK SUBMISSION
Once you submit your work on the Friday, you will receive personalised written feedback on your Weekly Task the following week.
You can submit you work by either photographing or scanning it in and emailing it to: brushstrokes.courses@gmail.com.
TUTORIALS
At the end of the course, there will be an opportunity to receive a 30 minute 1:1 Tutorial to discuss the body of work you have created, receive further mentorship on your emerging artistic style and ask any further questions.
Please ensure I have your Zoom email address so I can send out the invitations to the correct email address.
RESOURCES
What Are The Course Materials?
If you have purchased the Tuition Fee only and wish to use your own materials, then I have provided a Shopping List of all materials needed throughout the course at the end of this Welcome Pack.
If you have purchased an Artist Kit, it will be delivered to you 1 – 2 weeks before the start of the course.

Where Can I Find the Teaching Resources and Reference Images?
All the Teaching Resources & Reference Images for the class will be emailed out before each week on a Thursday morning.
To be more sustainable and reduce waste, print outs of all the resources needed for the course will not be provided unless needed.
In previous courses, some students have preferred to use tablets, laptops or have chosen to only print out their chosen image or resource they find most useful.
Can I Use My Own Reference Images?
Yes, bring your own images or use your own photography, however please make sure you read through the below Copyright notice.

If you do not have access to an alternative device, or printer, please do get in touch and I can arrange to print out the resources in advance and post them out to you before the course begins.
