“I have wanted to learn to paint for so MANY years and now to be learning the fundamentals and see what I hope to emerge from the canvas actually take some semblance of what I intended is THRILLING! I feel like the school age child rushing to show their mom or dad what they just did every time I send you something I just did 🤣"

TFP FAQs
When do The Foundational Painter program sessions start?
First program session starts September 8th @1PM PDT
(>>See session schedule above )
Is this class appropriate for the complete beginner?
This Alumni program allows all past students of "The Foundational Painter" to join and be part of the new 9-weekly sessions program live and access all of the new materials and bonuses with it. You will also receive access to the program course portal that will have the 9-week program specific material included and all bonuses that are being offered to new program students. This special discounted rate is only available to students who have taken the "The Foundational Painter Course" prior.
What mediums does this program work for?
This program is designed for those who paint (or want to learn to paint) with Oils and Acrylics. If you are interested ONLY in Watercolors, I do not suggest this program for you. As I use oil paints to show all of my demonstrations - however if you paint with Acrylics, I have had multiple acrylic painters go through this material with great success. Plus I even have a special Acrylic Painters Bonus in this program, that will fully explain any differences that you need to know when using acrylics vs oils.
How many weekly program sessions are there?
There will be 9 weekly sessions that you can attend live online and will be recorded for you to access in a special program sessions course portal section.
What if I can't make the program sessions live...?
All weekly program sessions will be recorded. The value of these sessions are beyond just the live aspect... As these sessions will provide additional training and context to the course portal learning materials, along with additional material such as...
How long do I have access to the course material?
How does access for the lifetime of this course sound? After enrolling, you will have unlimited access to this course for as long as you like - across any and all devices you own.
Is this course live or pre-recorded?
Both! The course material is made up of pre-recorded videos that will show you the detailed painting process in action through step by step application steps. You will be able to follow along, while I show you through demonstration how to develop your painting every step of the way.
How do I get help?
You can email me at elisabeth@artstudiolife.com - there are also comment sections within each section of the course portal, that easily allow you to ask any questions you might have about the material you're working on. You will also get access to the private Art Studio Life School Facebook Group!

What The Foundational Painter Can Do For You
"It took me nearly 60 years..."
Listen to Jeff share how, "It's hard to know where to start..." and how it took him nearly 60 years before he was able to achieve the goals he had for painting. The Foundational Painter gave him the guidance to achieve massive growth as a painter (about to have his work in an art museum show) in under a year...!
"Personally, I found The Foundational Painting Course exceptionally informative and the format you used was very reassuring for me. As I am very new at art and painting techniques. There wasn’t a part of the course that I didn’t understand and as colour can be very difficult to understand for a beginner, everything you presented was outstanding."

How TFP Helped Jill Get Past Her "block"...
"Elisabeth.........the course gave me exactly what I needed to get past my “block” of not knowing how to apply the instructions I had received previously. I had knowledge but was unable to apply it until YOU! From limited palette to light/dark, you made it all so understandable. I have been painting continuously since I completed your course. Thank you so much for what you are giving and the encouragement to keep working at painting."
