  12. On the basis of the duration of the sample, I reckon about 5 DVD's for the course. The first seven videos can be covered (and are) in every course , book and video on the market, so need only be short. From my point of view only the last 10 would be of interest and then only if the price is right.

  19. rob barrie I also am very interested in the new Art Tutor. I'm retired and have only been painting for about 9 months. My biggest problem is how to convert a photo into a creatively designed painting. I'm learning some great stuff from 'Watercolour Secrets' Thanks Bob.

  27. I too was wondering how the W/C course relates to Watercolor Secrets Course. Is it advisable to do both or is the ArtTutor more comprehensive and thus covers it all?

    I am very pleased at the way you all operate - so informative,low pressure, and very organized and informative. As you are in the throes of launching something new, and soon - you must be laughing at my calling you organized, as with most people getting something off the ground, you probably do not feel organized :) When the curtain goes up - you'll be ready.

  29. Smart idea using YouTube as the vehicle to deliver videos, but I have to ask this, even though I am sure that the answer is no....Can I just go to YouTube directly and see all these great videos? There must be a restriction somehow where only registered students have access.

    ReplyDelete
  30. hi bob im looking forward to this art tutor i got you videos a couple of years ago and loved them .so i know this new idea will be very interesting and instructive and a great follow on from your videos /dvds .

    ReplyDelete
  31. I would like to know the average length of the videos; also what size the presentation screen will be (I wear reading glasses and will need a much larger screen than the demo screens); also, will you be providing a materials list for each course? Thanks ... the offer sounds really interesting, especially since I am in need of beginner everything!

  32. How do I subscibe to this and how much is it?

    ReplyDelete
  33. I am not understanding how this works.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Looks great, when can we sign up for the annual subscription and how much will that be?

    ReplyDelete
  35. For some reason the sample videos on my PC keep stopping every few seconds to buffer which is very frustrating. If the course videos do the same it would be impossible to watch and learn. Is this because they are small samples shown on youtube and would the full course video's play better? Or do I need to download anything on my PC to make them run better? I have the W/Colour and Acrylic Secret videos and love them but they play on individual DVD's.

    ReplyDelete
  36. As a beginner, and rather a slow learner, I see that you can't download the videos. In this case, once my subscription lapses (after a year probably), does this mean I can't watch them any more?

    Thanks

    1. Hi Bridget,

      You can't download videos, but you can watch them as many times as you like once you have subscribed. We will be updating the site constantly with new demonstrations and tutorials so you might even want to stick around a little longer!!!
