I’ll teach you how to do the perfect colour blend, and how to get your waves looking great. You’ll follow me through each step in the correct order including the wave, the ripples on the water, the foam rolling forward, the clouds, the distant headlands and the sand… We’ll mix the paint colours together to make sure you end up with a truly vibrant painting and I’ll share with you my best and latest tips and tricks to make my paintings stand out from the crowd.

As a self taught artist, I have watched many painting tutorials over the years, Scott you have excelled in the layout, content and delivery. Each tutorial is a perfect blend of information and technique that leaves me looking at paintings I have done that hang on my walls with new eyes, so much so I will be pulling a few down to rework them. As you stated in the main tutorial program and here again, it is the final detailing so often lacking that makes the painting come together and catch the eye. Your tutorials are excellent value for money - worth every cent! And finally the PTO FB group is fantastic, lovely members, supportive and helpful advice and always encouraging one another with the artwork put up for critique. So pleased I joined PTO....thank you Scott.

Wow! So interesting so far Scott! Mixing colours and order of work. Also Photoshop and transferring sketch to the canvas. Loads of practical, easy to follow information. Very in depth and I'm printing each section as I progress through the units. I'm looking forward to completing the online workshop units and putting some paint onto a canvas :)
