You can watch all the videos and try the techniques later. Or you can pick and choose which techniques appeal to you. Trying one new method a week or each month. There's enough to keep you inspired for quite a while.

Instead of learning how to paint like the teacher, this course draws on 25 different artists' styles and delivers a myriad of techniques and tools for you to make your own. Develop your own artistic voice with the help of a wide variety of demonstrated painting methods.

As a student enrolled in "The Painted Pear" you have permission to use the reference pics. You may sell works that you create based on the photos, but you may not sell or pass on the photos themselves.

Learn simple and effective ways to make the color wheel work for you.


Try new color schemes.
Choose colors purposefully.
