My Promises To You

“Beauty is truth, truth beauty – that is all ye
know on earth, and all ye need to know.”
– John Keats from “Ode to a Grecian Urn”

I promise you honesty. As you learn oil painting and learn to draw online, you may have dreams of fame and riches. As someone with over 40 years experience as an artist, I will be the first to tell you that neither comes easily. Artists who held a college degree in Fine Arts made an average of $44,000 in 2001. (Notice I said, “who held a college degree.”) That $44,000, however, is not strictly from the sale of art. It also most likely includes income from other sources such as driving cabs, waiting tables or teaching. While it is possible to earn a living solely from the sale of your art (after you learn oil painting), I would be less than honest if I told you it is an easy road. If you choose to learn oil painting, do it for love – not for money.

Refund Policy: I promise you’ll be satisfied. This online art school has been successful in helping countless individuals learn to draw online. However, if, within 15 days of receiving the art student sign-up kit, you are not completely satisfied and do not feel you will be able to learn to draw online, you may return the art course books, camera, and art supplies for a full refund.

You will be issued a refund if all materials and equipment are (i) unused and in good condition; (ii) in their original packaging; and (iii) returned within 15 days of your receipt of the student sign-up kit. Once you have begun the art classes and submitted one or more assignments, it is assumed that you are satisfied and refunds will not be issued.

You are given a full 30 months to complete the entire art course. You may also opt to purchase art classes individually if you believe you will need more time to learn how to draw and how to oil paint.

Those who are under 18 years of age must have parental consent to enroll in the online art school.

The art course is only available in English at the moment.

I will never intentionally disclose any personal identification information about you to any third party without your permission, except as may be required by law or by court order or to an independent contractor employed by us to carry out or provide support for the operations of this site or this business or under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety or property of our users or ourselves.

Shipping Policies. Most student kits ship in 1 to 3 days unless extreme weather or supply problems occur. Shipment varies by location. In the United States and most of the world, United State Post Office is used to ship student kits. Student kits usually arrive within a week to ten days at the most. Sometimes, we have had customs delays in some countries. We will track your shipment and notify you by email of the status of your shipment as it travels to you. (All shipping costs are included in the price of any course or single Lesson purchase - to be clear WE pay for shipping, the student does not pay for shipping
International art students must pay any of their country's tariffs, duties and taxes)
