Learn from Anna Rose Bain
Fine art oil painting instruction in the comfort of your own studio
Welcome!
Are you an artist looking to take your work to the next level?
I'm here to help! I've been painting for over 20 years, with more than 15 years of teaching experience. I love sharing my passion for painting with my students. That's why I've compiled a growing library of instructional videos just for you.
While most of my tutorials are geared towards intermediate to advanced oil painting students, anyone with some drawing experience can benefit from watching. I'm also very interested in hearing from YOU. If there is a specific tutorial you'd like to see from me, please reach out and let me know. In the mean time, I hope you enjoy my collection so far. More to come!

FAQ
-
I work with acrylics, not oils. Can I still learn from you?
Of course! The same principles of drawing, value, color, composition, and edges all apply regardless of your medium. While my technical instruction is all about oil painting, there are still a lot of things you can learn from these videos, even if you only use acrylics or water soluble oils.
-
Do I need to purchase all the materials you recommend?
My materials are just that - recommendations. If you have brushes or paints that you prefer, then use them! My own palette of colors is tried and true, and I'll show you how to mix them, but I often diverge from it even in my videos. Painting is play, and it's okay to use lots of different brands, materials, and techniques!
-
Can I just buy one of your courses separately and skip the subscription??
You can purchase each course separately, but the benefit of a subscription is that you get access to EVERYTHING! A one month membership is still a better value than buying a video individually.
-
Can I download the videos to my computer?
My videos are not available for download. As long as you have internet access, you can watch them on this course site, and they'll be available for the duration of your membership.
