How to use this CD.

Click on any of the sections on the right hand side to go to that particular section.
Navigation from there between the various sections should be easy.

However, the various sections have been prepared, as far as possible, to be units on their own. One can therefore estimate from the titles and sub-titles whether that particular content is required for the moment.

There is a considerable amount of cross-pollenation between the sections, but basically the content can be summed up in the following groupings of sections:

Logistical:
Sections. 2 & 3
Practical:
Sections 4, 5, 6, 10 & 12
Theoretical:
Sections 1, 7, 8, 9, 11 & 13
Background:
Sections 1, 4 & 15

This CD programme has been designed for beginners, intermediate and advanced artists, with, hopefully, an abundance of input for all levels. there are hundreds of pages of text, steps, lectures and digressions, and over 1500 colour images in the project.

Recommendations:

It is advised that you follow the flow of this CD section-by-section, to ensure you receive maximum benefit out of the course.

If you want to jump right in and begin painting, then I recommend you go to Section 2 and ensure you have the right materials, then set-up your studio as in Section 3, and then proceed to Section 4 and set out your colour palette and do the Introductory exercises. Now you are ready to move on to Section 5 and review the mechanics behind my 10 Step-by-Step approach to Oils & Acrylics. Once you have completed this do the first Step-by-Step example.
