Delivery dates of course materials
Level 1 of the course runs Monday, July 10 through Friday, August 4, 2023.
Then you have a 2 week break, during which no emails will be sent. The pause gives you time to order the supplies that you will need for the hands-on Part 2 of the course
Level 2 email lessons resume 2 weeks after Level 1 ends. The 2 week break gives time to purchase art supplies for the hands-on exercises and challenges offered in Level 2. There is no additional fee for Level 2.
You can of course go at your own pace, filing away the lessons and absorbing them at a later date.
For an added benefit, you are invited to attend any of the optional LIVE ZOOM Sunday Oil Painting Demonstrations with Valerie, offered 2x per month and lasting an hour, usually on a Sunday evening. During these information-rich and unique demos, Valerie explains her steps and painting decisions, and offers a Q & A session at the end. Once you register, we will send you, one week before the course begins, all the information you need for a smooth onboarding process.
We also share a private FaceBook group where you can post your work in progress, ask questions and receive gentle critiques.
