This is a brand new art community that was stated on the 16th Jan 2026 . Please do make a post to introduce yourself and do include what you would like to paint and what help you are looking for. Feel free to ask for help if your struggling to paint something and I will happily engage with you and if needed I will make a video to show you in detail exactly how to progress. The more you share, ask and connect the more you will benefit from this art community. So please do share your paintings and drawings as this is what it's all about. I'm making a new course every 14 days along with live webinars and essential technique videos lessons so there will be lots of activity on here as the weeks progress. Thank you for your support Regards Martin

This is a little timelapse video of the Blue Glass Course course.

This is a little timelapse video of the Oban Skies course. The full course is now loaded on to the $12 Subscription Membership Plan. The course has 5 video lessons with easy to follow step-by-step guidance. To view this course go to the Classroom tab at the top of the page.

I would suggest you initially start by watching some of the recorded webinar videos as this will give you an idea of how I teach and it will familiarise you with my teaching methods. With this done I would then suggest you subscribe to the $12 per month subscription tier where you will find detailed tutorials courses. Simply go to the Classroom tab and click on a course that's locked, this will take you to a join membership section. With this done you now have a 7 day free trial before any subscription fees are taken. You will be able to see all these courses listed in the Classroom section waiting to be made available to you as and when you subscribe. As a founder member you will receive a 7 day free trial when you join and also a reduced $12 subscription membership plan. This special founder membership price will never increase, it will always remain the same $12 for the lifetime of your membership. This is a thank you to all founder members for supporting me and helping me through the initial months of setting the school up. Without your support this school would not exist and so I’m very grateful hence the reduced $12 founder members subscription fee. However once the total number of founder members has been reached all new members from that date on will pay the full membership price of $39 per month. All founder members subscriptions will be frozen at the $12 price point and will never increase so long as their subscription lasts. All members can cancel their subscription or reduce to the free membership tier at any time without question.

Wow day two already and a big welcome to our oil painting community. The back engine and setup has taken about 8 hours so far but that's mostly all done now except for a little tweaking here and there. Today and over the next few days I will be focussing on uploading courses and videos for you all to enjoy and engage in. Please let me know what your thoughts and wishes are. This community is all about you and so please tell me what you would most like to see and experience on here and I will do my best to make it happen. The next live event is a webinar on Tuesday 20th Jan at 5pm UK time and as it's the first one on here I hope it all runs smoothly lol ! Watching it should be easy for you all just login to the App and it should be visible. These Tuesday live webinars will always be free to watch and will be guided by you so please do suggest anything you would like me to create a webinar on and it shall be done. Thank you all for joining Martin
