In this course you will learn about acrylic inks and what they are capable of. You will experience their vibrancy and learn the basic techniques. See how they flow through water creating random yet beautiful effects. After learning these skills create two abstract artworks followed by a lovely pear painting and then a fluffy koala. At the end of the course you will have the skills needed to go on to create your own acrylic ink artworks.

This course can be used independently or as an extension to my course "LEARN THE ART OF CLAY SCULPTING: MAKE A GANAPATI IDOL". This course teaches you everything that you need to know for painting a Ganapati idol using acrylic colors. Using the same techniques and sequence taught in this course, you can use other types (poster, organic) of colors too to paint the idol. You'll learn which colors (red, yellow, blue etc) to buy and how to mix many other colors from the basic colors. Most difficult part in painting the idol is painting the eyes and that is shown in detail so that you get the necessary information and confidence. So, take the course, paint the idol, enjoy the experience and feel more spiritually connected!

Impressionist painting with a focus on light. Bring a luminous quality to your paintings you’ve never thought possible. Learn how to build a painting in one sitting, “alla prima”, and how to savor interesting brushwork. You will also learn the invaluable concepts of drawing, value, color, edges, and texture. Use these methods and knowledge to start your painting off right if you're a total beginner, or to take your painting style to the next level if you're more experienced. You’ve never painted like this before. You can paint along with me during this entire course. I even have a camera angle that shows my palette as I'm mixing colors. You will learn crucial painting techniques in the process of creating a beautiful painting. Or feel free to just sit back and enjoy the show as I create a painting from scratch. DOWNLOADABLE MATERIALS: I provide the reference photo I'm using for the painting, and an image of my finished painting for you to analyze. Also a materials list: you're free to use your own style of materials of course, but I'll list every single thing I use. This course is partial toward using oil paint, and I highly recommend it, however you can use acrylics also. Many of the concepts I discuss in this course apply to all mediums of art. So take this course if you're ready to improve your painting with methods you've probably never seen before, and will have you thinking about painting in a new way. For all levels of painters.

In this class you will learn how to paint a simple Buddha using coffee. The class is designed in such a way that both beginners and professional artists can enjoy a new medium of painting. If you are planning to start watercolors , definitely try this class as coffee painting is so similar to watercolors. As a bonus lesson I have added a video on how to to add gold liner to your coffee painting to give a rustic look and a time-lapse video on how to make bookmarks with leftover coffee “paint”. The best moment for the teacher is to see the students works. If you like this class please do share your works or tag me at my insta @jayasree.kaimal. I would love to see them.

This is the only course you will ever need to help you get to grips with your watercolor painting, how the colours work, the mixing, matching and how to get the most out of them for your painting projects. The subject of paint colours is a massive subject and this course does not cover everything, but here I have condensed and simplified the subject to give you a good understanding and a helpful basis to really get to grips with your watercolor paints. I have deliberately kept it simple and  where posssible, chosen colours which you should all have in your collection. We will look at: The history of colours. What their codes mean. Primary, secondary and tiertary colors. Make a colour wheel. Complimentary  colours. Cool and Warm colors. Chemical colour families Mixing your own greys and darks. Take your time going through the lectures, experiment with what you have and start to make charts and samples to create your own reference book. Most of all enjoy playing as you discover what you can do with these magical colours. Lots of love Nicola

This course is intended to show the Strip Painting technique I developed over 20 years ago.  It takes the students through the entire painting process, discussing things like color selections and painting composition and shows how to apply that knowledge to easily create their own masterpieces. By the time the students are finished they will be able to paint any image using oil or acrylic on canvass with amazing precision.
