This is an online workshop for oil painters (Amy demos in oils, but other mediums are also welcome to join). Beginners to experienced painters are welcome.

Participants can ask questions in the chat section along the way if you attend the workshop live.  You do NOT have to attend the workshop live; many people join later and watch the recordings. Everyone has full access to the workshop materials. Amy will provide assignments and these can be posted to the private community topic forum when it is taught as a live online workshop.  Amy will offer feedback and suggestions for all posted work related to the assignments. The community is optional and you do not have to post work--but many participants enjoy the feedback and support from others.

The ZOOM link is embedded in this course. Use the same link each week.

Classes are recorded and you will have lifetime access! If you are in a different time zone or have commitments during class time, you are still welcome to register. Watch the class later, work on the assignments, and post your work to the community forum. It's a great place to meet people who are also taking the class.

FAQs

1) Do I need to have a Zoom account? No. You will receive a link for class. The "classroom" will open approximately 30 minutes prior to the start of the workshop. You can enter and get yourself acclimated, test your video and audio.

2) What happens if I lose connection during the workshop? It's okay, this can happen. Just exit and then use the link to rejoin the workshop. If your connection is really slow, sometimes it helps to power down your computer, wait a few minutes, power up and try again. Sitting closer to your router can also work, should you need to boost the connection.

3) Can I view the class on my phone? This is not the optimum way to see a painting workshop. The best way to see the class is with a desktop, laptop, or tablet.

4) Do I paint while you are painting? This is often not beneficial, but it is up to you. Most participants want to engage with Amy's slide talk, discussion, and demo entirely so they can ask her questions.  The sessions are recorded and you will have lifetime access to them f so you can easily paint along with Amy later.

5) If I miss class can I have a refund? Unfortunately, no. The class is purposefully set up for those who want to attend live or want to attend at their leisure. You have lifetime access to the videos so you will be able to learn and paint at your convenience. On the other hand, If I have to cancel the class for any reason, everyone gets all of their money returned.

6) Do I need to post my work? No! This is entirely optional. The community forum is a place to meet other painters, post your work, and continue to learn from one another. On occasion Amy will check in with the forum and post remarks for growth and encouragement.

7)  How soon can I access the video? Please give 24 hours for the class to be saved and uploaded to Amy's private YouTube account. You will be sent a link to view the class again at your leisure without time constraint.

8) Is Amy's class private? Yes! Only registered participants attend the classes and have access to the videos. The YouTube channel is private and only paying participants can see them.
