WHAT IS YOUR FIRST PAINTING?

The perfect course to get started if you don’t know anything about painting.

Would you like to take that step and start painting but you don’t know how to do it?

Here I take you by the hand and show you everything you need to do before, during and after the painting process of a complete work.

I show you every detail filmed IN VIDEO so you can do the same on your side without fear of making a mistake.

The best method to learn to paint if you don’t want to fail over and over again when trying to paint.

Painting is a skill, and like all skills there are 2 ways to learn it:

By trial and error, making mistakes at every step and progressing slowly, which requires time, money for materials and also energy to do one trial after another and endure each failure.

By learning from someone who has done it before and who tells you every trick and teaches you so you can avoid every mistake before it happens.

Which do you think is better?

A set of basic tools that will be with you for the rest of your painting journey.

That’s right, after painting YOUR FIRST WORK you will have acquired the knowledge and skill to move on to your next jobs.

What do those who have already taken it…

“Watching it on video is even better than alive because I was able to repeat it until it came out just the way I wanted. I’ve been able to recover works that I thought were lost and the new ones come out better and better.”

Marta Alaniz
Painter and Sculptor
