Hi, I'm Cheryl Poulin. I am your Instructor and Guide for these courses. I love to paint. It has brought me countless hours of joy.
I want you to experience that joy as well. That's why we are here together. I want to provide you every opportunity to develop your painting skills. I know you too will fall in love with this art form.
Here's all you need to know. You are not alone on this journey. I am with you each step of the way.
And anytime you need help, all you have to do is ask. I'll be here.
Finally, remember this is not a race. This is a beautiful journey of discovery and development.
Have fun. Let me guide you step by step
through these courses.
Enjoy,
Cheryl
A: No, you can take this course on your own schedule. You can access it anytime, any day. It’s always there for you.
A: Absolutely. Although I have designed and painted this on a rectangular surface, it can be easily adapted to a round or oval surface.
A: This project can be painted on just about any surface with the materials I have identified. However these paints will not work on glass so glass surfaces are out.
A: If, in the unlikely event, you decide this course is not for you, I provide a complete 30-day Money Back Guarantee. All you have to do is ask.
A: All my courses are designed for Acrylic paints. If you wanted to use oils, you would have to convert the colors and mix them yourself. Also, some of the techniques may not work as I describe if using oils.
A: I have a private Facebook page for my students that you can join. Once, there, you can ask me questions or ask other students. I also respond to emails that you may send or comments you may leave in the course itself.
A: I hate to say, “No” but this would be quite a challenge for a new painter. It might even be a source of frustration. I would not recommend it. But my new course to train new beginner painters will be launched later this year. So stay in touch.
