Frequently Asked Questions about Cyber Art Learning

What medium will I be learning in?
There are two different classes, general media and watercolor. Requests are welcome. We expect  the student to already know how to apply and mix paint as well as have some basic drawing skills.. Artists in all mediums will benefit because the principles of composition apply to all landscape paintings and the painting procedure is similar. The difference is the application of paint.

What will be the style I will be learning with?
To give you an idea of the kind of landscapes you will be aiming for, take a look at these leading magazines, "Art of the West" and "Southwest Art". The landscape paintings that appear in those magazines are a good example of the style you will be learning. These magazines can be found in the leading bookstores.

What courses do you offer?
Right now we only have offer traditional landscape painting courses. Very soon we will offer flower paintings and animals in watercolor.

I have never painted. Will this work for me?
Bluntly, you should have previous knowledge of mixing colors, basic drawing skills and have done some painting. If you are a beginner you will learn the theory part of this but you will need to know how to apply the paint. This method is not recommendable to right out of the bottle beginners.
