Testimonials
“[ The course is] excellent so far. Really like the subtitles indicating the colours used . Learnt more about how to apply thinly by stumbling the paint layer by layer without losing the underpainting colours. ”
A Happy Student
“It really is fascinating, and so instructive, to watch a painting grow from the first few searching brushstrokes through to the final refining touches. I can't recommend it highly enough.”

FAQ
Is this a course or a demonstration?
This is a painting demonstration with commentary, introductions and structured topic discussions. So perhaps an ‘educational demonstration’ ?
Do you offer personal tuition with the course?
The course is part of Sophie’s Art School, which has its own private community where you can post your questions, comments and of course your own work for feedback and support.
How long do I have access to the course?
The course is part of a membership to Sophie's Art School so you will have access for as long as your membership runs. As long as you are member, you can watch, rewind, watch again, fast forward, pause and play as much as you like.
How long is this course?
There is a total of 8 hours of video + additional articles.
Can I turn the music off?
In each video two asterisks ** will appear whenever a voice-over starts or ends. When you see the asterisks you can mute or unmute the video and so only hear the voice over and keep the rest of the videos quiet.
Is there a commentary throughout?
Almost every section has a short introduction in which I explain what I am going to do in the next part. During the demo videos I talk now and then but there are many hours of just quiet music (which you can mute if you prefer).
Can we interact with other students?
Yes! The course is connected to its own private community where all students can post questions, comments and work. Don’t be shy, come say hello!
