Master Art Instruction

This is a complete three year program of self-study art instruction courses. With this art instruction program you get all our Beginner art instruction courses, plus all our Master art instruction courses, a total of 60 courses. They cover all the basic foundation topics you need to know about, whether your interest lies in oil painting techniques, watercolor painting techniques, or acrylic painting techniques.

If you are an intermediate or advanced artist, you will take your art to a more advanced level. This is information you would normally only get in a master class with an experienced artist.

"You know even though I studied in London in the mid 60's and before that in Paris, I knew I had missing data. When I bought your course I had no idea how comprehensive it would be. It has answered absolutely all my questions and has given me everything I could ever want in the matter of technique. I think it is so complete that it is an amazing field of knowledge in itself!"

What does the art instruction cover?

This program of art instruction is equivalent to a three year course of study in painting at an academic art institution (at a fraction of the cost). It includes:

  • advanced topics in painting that are not generally talked about in the commercial "how to" art books, (which are more geared to the amateur hobbyist market)
  • all the important and useful information gathered over the years from the author's personal library of over a hundred art books, including many out-of-print books by the old masters
  • all the tips and tricks the author has learned during his study years with master artists

"I can’t tell you how much your courses have helped me to understand what it is I’m trying to do. I spent many years in frustration knowing that there was much I needed to know in order to progress, but unable to do it even with the numerous art instruction books that I purchased over the years. In some ways I think certain books did more harm than good because they only gave part of the information needed. In any case, you have presented the information in a clear, concise way, and the assignments are an invaluable tool for learning. I feel confident that with hard work and perseverance, my work will improve. I sincerely hope that if you ever decide to stop the VirtualArtAcademy, you will have your courses published in book form. You have written the quintessential art instruction book, every bit as valuable as Carlson’s Guide To Landscape Painting - maybe even more so because it incorporates every aspect of painting! Every artist out there would benefit from its contents. I wonder if you realize what you have written? I eagerly look forward to any future courses."... Janet Warrick, Chicago, United States.

What does the Complete Program include?

In this art instruction program you get 58 courses, covering all the basic foundation topics you need to know on oil painting techniques, watercolor painting techniques, and acrylic painting techniques. Each art instruction course covers a specific topic in painting in a high degree of detail, in an easy-to-read format. With each course you get:

  • Lecture Notes: About 15 - 20 pages of concentrated information written in an easy to understand format.
  • Learning Assignments: Each art instruction course typically contains about four to ten learning assignments to help you fully master the skills described in the lecture notes. Using these assignments, you can customize your own training program.
  • Each art instruction course represents around 15 to 20 hours of study.
  • All the art instruction course materials are in Adobe Acrobat PDF format so you can easily read them online or print them out on your home computer printer.

"This is such a thorough course - it is like having my own university at home - unfortunately when I went through my BFA program I had very few instructors that would share (or knew what to share) with us. That was more than 30 years ago... Since then I have attended many workshops which were far more informative and were great as a means of working faster and fresher. Your system is really the best way for me. The information is given in an understandable manner." Jane..... February 10, 2007

Easy to read Acrobat Reader files

The art instruction courses are written in Adobe Reader (PDF) format, and you can download them to your computer as soon as you purchase them. Once you have downloaded the files you can either read them on your computer, or print them out on any home printer. We produce the art instruction courses in this format to make them:

  • more affordable (if we printed them in book form, the art instruction courses would cost at least three times the price), and
  • available to you immediately.

"Congratulations on these courses, they are genuinely very good ... especially compared to other Art Instruction I have found over the years across the world. I have found most Art Courses to have a great deal of filler and short of real constructive advice. These are very useful to actually developing your skills."... Karl. August 16, 2006

"I can't tell you how impressed I am. I have taken about 20-25 workshops from some of the best but I feel like this program will fill in many of the gaps that I have been missing. I am so thankful to find this." Ellen..... January 2, 2007

"Thanks. This course is invaluable, and a lifetime's worth of study. "... Fran C.,San Diego, United States
